IFP 2011 Project Forum Showcase Films Announced (Seith Mann, Alrick Brown ...

Congrats to Seith Mann , Alrick brown , Nekisa Cooper , Ron Simons , and Lanre Olabisi who all have projects accepted into the IFP’s 2011 Project Forum showcase; just a sampling of the many other emerging and established filmmakers, writers and producers behind the 150 new films in development.

The Project Forum is the centerpiece of Independent Film Week , which takes place here in NYC in September, and its goal is to provide a place where industry execs can meet with new talent, discover fresh projects from emerging and veteran filmmakers, and maybe most importantly, pair talent with funders, supporters and/or producers.

I only mentioned the above 5 names because I instantly recognized them when I browsed through the 150-title long list; plus we’ve covered these folks in one post or another over the last 2 1/2 years since S&A was created.

But I plan to properly scrub the list and highlight others I may have missed.

Courtesy of the IFP , Here are the 150 new Project Forum films, some that we hope will leave the showcase with more than they entered it with, if ya know what I mean :)

A full listing of this year’s accepted projects is attached below. All selected participants take part in one of four sections:  

Emerging Narrative has become the premiere U.S. talent pool for producers, agents and managers, and development execs to discover projects in development from new voices on the independent scene. Presenting 20 scripts in early development by up-and-coming writers and writer/directors, all projects and participants have minimal previous exposure to the marketplace. As part of the program, IFP is proud to present three scripts in conjunction with our partners at Rooftop Films, who have co-curated projects written by alumni of their screening series.

IFP’s Independent Filmmaker Labs is currently the only program in the nation that supports 21 diverse filmmakers throughout the completion, marketing and distribution of their first feature film. The program has become the leading U.S. forum for executive producers, agents and managers, sales agents and festival programmers to discover and support fresh talent on the independent scene just prior to their introduction to the marketplace. All projects presented in the Labs section are completing post-production and will be premiering at domestic and international film festivals over the next 18 months. Over the years, No Borders International Co-Production Market has become the premiere U.S. forum for buyers, sales agents and financiers to meet with established independent producers who have strong track records for producing films in the international marketplace.  All 45 projects presented at No Borders have at least 15% financing in place; many also have additional cast and/or principal attachments. Of the projects selected for presentation this year, 50% will be represented by producers from the U.S. including six projects from our sole U.S. Partner, The Sundance Institute. Remaining projects are represented by producers sponsored by No Borders’ international partners and support organizations. These included established funding bodies Film-und Medienstiftung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Germany), Hong Kong – Asia Film Financing Forum (China),  Israel Film Fund, National Film and Video Foundation (South Africa), New Zealand Film Commission, Screen Australia, and Telefilm Canada as well as support organizations ACE/Ateliers du Cinema Européen (France), Berlin International Co-Production Market (Germany), CineMart (The Netherlands), NFDC Cinemas of India/Film Bazaar, and TGP – Tokyo Gathering Project.
