BRITISH COUNCIL TO ATTEND VANCOUVER FILM FESTIVAL

INDEPENDENT film and content producers looking to work with the Canadian market will have the opportunity to promote their work at a co-production event staged by The British Council at the Vancouver Film festival from September 25-27.
The British Council are running the seminar alongside the festival in conjunction with the Support for Seminars and Exhibitions Abroad (SESA) programme. This scheme will enable participants to claim back up to 50 per cent of travel and accommodation costs.
Senior figures from the film industry in Canada and Canadian distributors will be invited to special presentations of your films and TV programmes. These will be supported by a series of discussion events and receptions to allow the UK participants to network widely with the Canadian contacts.
If you are looking to co-produce with the British Columbian market and would like to take part in the seminar or are interested to find out more, for an information pack contact: Esther Cunliffe, Vancouver project Manager, Creative Industries Unit, The British Council, 11 Portland Place, London, W1B 1EJ, or Tel: 0 20 7389 3011.

The seminar is in association with the London Film and Video Development Agency (LFVDA) and the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT).
