Does three countries mean 3x the power or 3x the challenges? The Forever is Now team reveals the real costs and wins of documentary co-production.
With the challenges of cultural funding cuts across Europe, and the disappearance of documentary commissions from streamers, EU co-productions are now the order of the day. Using Forever is Now as a case study, we'll explore the European co-production process. Irish producer David Rane, Belgian co-producer Hanne Phlypo, and Dutch co-producer Ilja Roomans will address how to find the right partners, divide the work, manage the finance, and navigate territorial splits. Moderated by Scottish producer Sonja Henrici, the panel weighs the benefits against the added complexity, exploring the foundations of a strong co-production and whether more countries truly means more impact?
Forever is Now is an observational film shot in 7 countries over 18 months, following Ireland's green party leader as he balances battling the climate crisis and caring for his autistic son. You can watch the UK premiere Forever is Now following this panel on Friday 12 June at 8:45pm.
Speakers:
David Rane (Producer, Soilsiú Films - Ireland)
Ilja Roomans (Producer, Docmakers - Netherlands)
Hanne Phlypo (Producer, Clin d’Oeil Films - Belgium)
