The 6^th edition of the Venice Production Bridge (September 2 to September 7, 2021), will be held during the 78th Venice International Film Festival. It will once again focus in particular on the presentation and exchange of original projects for films and works in progress, so as to foster their development and production.

While we are not yet out of the pandemic, we are now more confident that, thanks to the vaccination, we will soon be able to leave this particular period behind. The Venice Production Bridge, which has been constantly adjusting itself to follow the evolution of the industry with the long-term aim of enabling producers and directors to complete their projects, has now more than ever the will to contribute to the restart of the film and VR worlds.

The Venice Production Bridge will be held as an on-site event at the Excelsior Hotel, 3^rd floor,  on the Venice Lido,  with specific components also taking place digitally. It will therefore preserve its physical event on the Lido, while also offering many possibilities to participate remotely and worldwide.

Selected panels and events that will take place at the Excelsior Hotel, will be streamed through the Venice Production Bridge website to guarantee the maximum of possible participation on a global level.



For those unable to attend in-person due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, online participation will also be guaranteed through streaming and virtual one-to-one meetings. The Online VPB accreditation has been made again available. 

The Venice Production Bridge will therefore continue to provide producers worldwide with a unique possibility of meeting multiple categories of financiers (distributors, sales agents, banks, private and public investment funds, regions and film commissions, broadcasters, video aggregators and Internet platforms), who participate in raising the financial package necessary to create a film.

For the first time, the VPB will have a general focus on the Netherlands which will include additional Dutch projects (both feature films and VR) within the VGFM, two Dutch publishers at the BARM, one co-production for a work-in-progress within Final Cut in Venice, two dedicated panels, a  reception and a large delegation of 33 professionals (public funds, festivals, producers, VR experts, private financial institutions, sales agents and distributors...) coming from this country.
