Fond. Cinema Roma - Presentation

New Cinema Network (NCN) is a project dedicated to supporting new independent filmmaking: a co-production market where the filmmakers - selected from among the world's most interesting talents on the independent film scene - find the ideal platform for presenting their new feature film projects and connecting with the most important players in the European film industry.

About 50% of the NCN selected projects over the past editions have completed financing and are either completed films or are currently in pre, prod or postproduction. Great results have been achieved by the completed films in terms of co-production ventures and success. Among others we are proud to quote: The Milk of Sorrow by Claudia Llosa that has won the Golden Bear at the 59th Berlinal International Film Festival and has been nominated as best foreign language film at the 2010 Academy Awards®. To Die Like a Man by Joao Pedro Rodrigues and Visage by Tsai Ming Liang have been selected at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in the Sections A Certain Regard and in Competition.

With NCN, the Festival proudly joins the international network of festivals, stretching from Rotterdam, Berlin and Cannes to Hong Kong and Pusan, that side with those filmmakers and producers who are striving to make new films. Since its very first edition, NCN has become an important link in this virtual chain, working in synergy with the other international and European events (Cannes Cinéfondation - Atelier du Festival and Film London Production Finance Market; Berlinale Co-Production Market) while making a strong original contribution to the international film industry: an effective co-production forum for the circulation of capital, ideas and information in a relaxing and creative stimulating atmosphere.
