Docs go Hollywood
Sat 21 Sept / 15:00-16:15 / Inkonst Klubben
The growing popularity of documentaries has not gone by unnoticed in the fiction film industry. Big production companies have taken interest in fictionalising documentary films and are securing the rights to documentaries in order to make fictional remakes.
Strategist Sean Farnel will bring us behind the scenes of this trend and producer Giovanna Stropponi will take us on a tour of her hands-on experience when The Bengali Detective turned fiction. It is highly recommended, that you watch The Bengali Detective before the session. The film will be screened on Sat 21 Sept, 11:00 at Inkonst Teatern.
Speakers: Sean Farnel, Ripping Reality (CAN), Giovanna Stopponi, Native Voice Films (UK)

How Money From Many Can Add to Your Project
Mon 23 Sept / 15:00-16:15 / Inkonst Klubben
Is crowdfunding just a buzz or can it really help your projects get funded and reach audiences? And if so, how to get it right?
This spring FkN teamed up with Nordic crowdfunding platform Manymade and offered selected projects a mentored crowdfunding campaign. Manymade is a non-profit, curated crowdfunding platform for the Nordic countries with a particular focus on film, art, and creative technologies. They believe that a regional focus coupled with a curated, hands-on approach, is the most effective way to offer creators the greatest chance for success.
During this session you can get inside knowledge from the teams involved in the campaigns. Hear about their experiences, strategies and the results from the selected projects The Accidental Rock Star (N) and Escaping Sunshine (LT).
Speakers: Robert Freiert, Manymade (DK), Ingvil Giske, Medieoperatørene (N), Allan van O.T. Andersen, Era Film (DK), Rasa Miskinyte, Era Film (LT)
