New Transilvania Industry Manager Zooms in on Series and Co-Productions in ‘Increasingly Hard’ Time to Get Projects Made
New industry manager at Romania's Transilvania Festival wants to 'raise awareness' of need for new financing avenues for series in the country.
The actor slash producer took the position in January and spent the last six months getting a better understanding of the industry structures in place at TIFF, both to continue to deliver programs that are already considered successful and to be able to tweak whatever wasn’t fully working. Speaking about the festival’s central co-production platform, the Transilvania Pitch Stop, Bilă highlights its importance at a time when it is becoming “increasingly hard” to develop projects not only in smaller countries like Romania but all across Europe. Pitch Stop presents a selection of up to 10 projects currently in development and financing from first and second-time directors to international film professionals to foster cross-border cooperation, especially between Black Sea countries.
