Munich-based production company “Lieblingsfilm” took part in IDM’s Location Scouting Programme and went on a tour of South Tyrol between 7 and 9 August. The aim? To find new locations for their future project.

Cameras have started rolling for a summer of principal photography in South Tyrol/Südtirol. There are some interesting – and large-scale! – projects waiting in the wings for us: family films and dramas, documentaries, and short films.

Three feature films, two short films, and two documentaries were approved for funding during the second 2022 call. The total funding volume amounts to 1,281,000.00 EUR. Six of these projects are from South Tyrol/Südtirol–Italy and one is from Germany – most of them are realised as co-productions and pursue green shooting methods.

Why take part in the IDM script lab? That is the question we asked the participants of RACCONTI #10. During our interview, they told us how the exchange with experts and other teams drives the development of a script – and how it shapes the collaboration between the writer/director and the producer.

The IDM Film Commission was delighted to return to the Côte d’Azur for the 75th edition of the international Festival de Cannes. We enjoyed several jam-packed days of exciting events, catching up with colleagues and making new contacts. As the festival draws to a close, we look back at some of our highlights.

From 20 to 24 May, the IDM Film Commission will be at the 75th edition of the Festival de Cannes, presenting the IDM script lab RACCONTI at the Italian Pavilion on 23 May as well as a networking event between Italian and Baltic producers together with CNA, AGICI, and Meeting Point Vilnius.

Streaming and funding strategies, high-end shows, and co-productions: from 26 to 29 April, about 100 decision makers in the film industry met in Meran/Merano for some networking and discussions about current and future challenges. INCONTRI #11 in retrospect

Yesterday evening marked the opening night of the eleventh edition of IDM’s INCONTRI film conference, which will bring together industry experts at the Meran/Merano Kurhaus on the banks of the Passer river until April 29th, 2022.
