Trans Atlantic Partners - application now open

After a resoundingly successful inaugural year, TRANS ATLANTIC PARTNERS (TAP) is pleased to announce it is currently accepting applications from qualifying film producers to participate in its 2010 co-production training program. Online application forms are available at www.coproduction-training.com, and the deadline to apply is March 11, 2010.

TAP, presented jointly by the Erich Pommer Institut (Germany) and Strategic Partners (Canada), is an intensive two-module training program for Canadian and European producers seeking co-production professional development. Module 1 kicks off June 19 -24, 2010 in Berlin, Germany, and Module 2 takes place September 14-20th, 2010 in Halifax and includes registration at Canada's leading international co-production market, Strategic Partners.

Trans Atlantic Partners gives producers the necessary tools and knowledge to maneuver through the complex arena of international co-production and to overcome the legal and financial barriers. The Program is designed specifically to strengthen ties between the Canadian and European screen industries and provide excellent networking opportunities.

TRANS ATLANTIC PARTNERS offers producers the opportunity to:
• Develop specific skills in international co-production
• Learn from key professionals from both sides of the Atlantic
• Receive up-to-date information on Canadian and European film funds and tax incentives
• Discover new international partners and projects
• Access top industry players to discuss their projects in 1-2-1 meetings
• Participate in excellent networking opportunities

TAP is designed for producers with at least five years experience in producing film and/or television, but not necessarily in international co-production. Further information is available at the following link:
