CoPro, Israel's leading documentary co-production marketplace, will resume its 26th edition next month in a hybrid format amid the ongoing war in the region.
The market, which will be held from June 3rd to 6th, will feature more than 30 Israeli documentary projects.
The event will also include a pitching forum, rough cut screening, and one-on-one meetings.
Participants in the online market include more than 70 international representatives from broadcast networks, production companies, and distributors, as well as those attending the event in person in Tel Aviv to participate in panels and events. There are some too.
“During this heartbreaking and difficult time, our role as an international cultural organization is to promote diverse and complex stories, protect freedom of expression, and use film as a tool to build bridges and create dialogue with audiences around the world. I believe that this is the case,” said Pnina Halfon Lang. , CoPro Executive Officer. “In the face of a complex situation and future uncertainty, we at Copro are committed to continuing to promote and support independent documentary filmmakers in Israel. We believe it is extremely important to maintain relationships with our international colleagues as we share our voices and stories.”
The founding of CoPro 26 years ago is considered a turning point in Israel's documentary film industry, with Israel emerging as a major source of top-notch films and content for distributors in North America and Europe. Through CoPro's efforts, more than 650 co-productions have been signed and the Israeli production company has raised more than $40 million for local projects.
The nonprofit organization also operates a platform that provides continued access to Israeli producers and their projects.
