HALIFAX – Strategic Partners has announced that HBO Nordic’s commissioning editor and VP of original programming, Hanne Palmquist, will be a keynote speaker at this year’s International Co-production Market, presented by FIN.
Founded in 1998 and set against the backdrop of FIN: Atlantic International Film Festival in Halifax, Strategic Partners is a one-stop shop for feature and television fiction projects looking for partners. Strategic Partners says that it is conveniently scheduled at the end of TIFF for a quick, hassle free and productive stop before the trip back home, and attracts over 180 industry players including producers, investors, sales agents, funding agencies, broadcasters and distributors from around the world.
This year’s market, taking place September 14-16 in Halifax, will focus on dramatic feature film and TV fiction projects created for all platforms, and will conclude its two-year spotlight on the Nordic Region and the USA.
“The caliber of projects, delegates and speakers that attend Strategic Partners are uniquely curated,” said Strategic Partners program manager Laura Mackenzie, in the news release. “This, coupled with a program designed to provide unparalleled access to co-production possibilities, creates the perfect storm of creative discussion that results in the successes we see year after year.”
