Coproduction Breakfast at Festival de Cannes

Today, Sunday, May 19, the Coproduction Breakfast “Focus Germany meets UK and Ireland” took place as part of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, to which the nine largest German regional funding organisations had invited. In addition to German filmmakers and producers, representatives from the United Kingdom and Ireland, this year’s partner countries of the networking event, were also guests at the German Pavilion.

Every year, Focus Germany organizes the Coproduction Breakfast with a different country or partner region. The German Pavilion is organized by German Films, the national information and advisory center for the international distribution of German films, and FOCUS Germany, the association of the nine major regional funding bodies.
