Kids Kino Industry opens call for submissions
Skwigly
The 6th edition of Kids Kino Industry, an international co-production forum and networking event, is now accepting entries. The submission deadline is set for 31st of May 2022.
We’re looking for new diverse, forward-thinking film and series ideas for a new generation of young viewers, to be presented in front of a group of industry representatives, Decision Makers, and Investors.
We believe that high-quality, enlightened films and series for our young generation are more important now than ever. Our goal is to help filmmakers in finding the right partners and investors for their projects.
For the 2022 edition, producers can submit their projects of films and series for young audiences in two categories:
- In Development,
- Work In Progress.
The call is open for the following types of projects:
- Full-length films and series for young audiences and young adults;
- Live-action, documentary, animation, transmedia;
- Seeking funding, co-producers, distributors, sales agents, broadcasters, festivals;
- With a producer on board.
The main focus will be put on the European projects in development, at an early production stage, or in postproduction, but the submissions are also open for projects from outside Europe.
The submission is free of charge.
Kids Kino Industry
Kids Kino Industry is a part of the Kids Kino International Film Festival. Together with Kids Kino Lab (a script development workshop) and Kids Kino Docs (documentary project development workshop), KKI creates a wide range of initiatives to support the development of film industry as well as the production and dissemination of quality kids’ content.
Each year, there are around 25 projects in development and works in progress presented at the forum, with 1–2 projects presented at the market presentation section.
Annually, the event is attended by more than 300 guests. Our Decision Makers and investors are looking for the most promising projects. In previous years, the forum brought together industry representatives working for established companies, such as Netflix, ViacomCBS, ARRI, Indie Sales, New Europe Film Sales, LevelK, TVP, KiKa, YLE, RTV Slovenija, Windrose, Dutch Features, Beta Film, Attraction Distribution, Dandelooo, Millimages, and Canal+ Poland.
The pitchings and 1:1 meetings are the core of the programme of Kids Kino Industry. However, the four-day programme includes a number of masterclasses, case studies, consultations, panels, networking opportunities, and more.
The event will take place on the 27th– 30th of September 2022 as an industry part of the Kids Kino International Film Festival. The event will be held in a hybrid form: in Warsaw, Poland, and online.
