Conversation - 60 minutes
In search of supplements to public funding, producers are increasingly turning to other means of raising capital. Although venture capital and investment-based financing have a long history in Europe, they have mainly focused on content or projects with high commercial potential. However, in recent years, new venture capital and investment players have emerged, with a strong interest in independent, genre, artistic and experimental films that have the potential to reach a universal audience and bring a return on investment. What are the new venture capital and investment opportunities for independent producers?

With: Rain Rannu, Director, Producer and Investor at Tallifornia Film Fund (EE), Elisa Alvares, Media Corporate Finance Consultant and Senior Advisor to the Finnish Venture Capital Fund Manager at IPR.VC. (UK).

BREAK - 30 minutes

Roundtable discussion - 75 minutes
What Can NFTs and Crypto Token Solutions Do for the Future of Film Financing?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are currently the hottest topic in the creative and content industry. They promise new and previously untapped funding. In addition, they offer access to new players with high economic potential. While NFTs are making headlines with skyrocketing prices at auctions, the technology's real potential and its use have remained mysterious and it is difficult to distinguish between realistic opportunities and solutions from speculative ones.
Find out what NFTs can and cannot offer and how to take your first steps toward getting involved in this fast-growing industry.

With: Leo Matchett, CEO of Decentralized Pictures Foundation (US), Yannick Bossenmeyer, CEO of Cascade8 (FR), Juanjo Moscardó, Producer at Cosabona Films (ES), Shaban Shaame, CEO and Founder of EverdreamSoft (CH), Emilie-Alice Fabrizi, Brand Strategist and Founder of Le Lab at freestudios (CH).
