The Unbearable Lightness of Rejection

19 September 2019 (14:30 - 16:30), Yeldegirmeni Sanat

Speakers: Reinier Selen (NL), Ibo Karatay (NL)


We ask questions and seek answers with Reinier Selen and İbo Karatay from Rinkel Film about the development, financing and production process of Arun Karthicks’ second feature film “Nasir recently completed as a co-production.


Which processes does a film project go through if it is designed as an international co-production? During the process how many applications are being prepared to co-production markets, development platforms, production funds; how many of those applications receive positive results and how many of them receive negatives? Does every positive result means financial income? Are there any positive outcomes of getting rejected?


Workshops will differ as English and Turkish. There will not be a simultaneous translation.
