Everyone is familiar with the Cannes Film Festival, a week of star studded celebrities turning up, walking the red carpet, watching the latest releases.
But few people may realise that at the same time one of the film industry's biggest get togethers is also happening. The Marché du Film, known as The MArket, is a rendez-vous for professionals of the global film industry from producers to distributors, buyers, programmers. The last time NZ was there was in 2019.
This year around 50 kiwi producers made their way to the market.. Some of them are based overseas, about 20 received funding from the New Zealand Film Commission to get there.
One of those producers who has just touched down back in New Zealand is Mathew Metcalf. He talks to Anna.
