Segment Producers' Rendezvous

13.06.2017 | German-Danish film teams in series

The German-Danish winning pairs of the Glücksburg Segment Producers' Rendezvous have been announced. In future, the Hamburg companies Wüste Film and Letterbox will work together with their Danish partners SAM Productions and Deluca Film.

The aim of the alliances is to jointly develop regional series for Western Denmark under the label "New Nordic Noir" with strong German participation. The West Danish film funding organisation Filmby Aarhus and Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein are cooperating on the series initiative.

Maria Köpf: "Two German-Danish production duos are now working on regional series ideas - that is a strong signal for the European film north. Together with Filmby Aarhus, we now have the opportunity to accompany and support two international series teams right from the start. It's great that well-known Script Writers are also involved on both sides. We are very much looking forward to the creative German-Danish exchange, with which we will further expand and consolidate our cooperation between the Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein region and Denmark."

The production duos Wüste Film and SAM Productions (Copenhagen) and Letterbox and Deluca Film (Aarhus) will receive project development funding for the development of their series ideas. Their next steps will be to take part in series workshops. These include the "New Nordic Noir/West Coast Series Lab" in Hvide Sande/Denmark in September and the "Series Lab" organised by FFHSH and Creative Europe Desk as part of Filmfest Hamburg.

Twelve production companies from Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark came together at the Producers' Rendezvous in Glücksburg in March 2017. Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein and Filmby Aarhus want to strengthen joint series development with a focus on regional content and bring together German and Danish Executive Producers for joint series projects in the respective regions. The two projects that have now been selected will receive financial support from Filmby Aarhus. A continuation with a focus on Schleswig-Holstein is planned for 2018.
