Francesco Giai Via Elena Pollacchi These incredible results confirm that our wish to contribute to the completion of films in allowing Michel Reilhac Liz Rosenthal producers to meet financiers, funds, co-producers and post-production companies in a very special Jane Williams environment meets a real and increasing demand in the film industry.

Within the context of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, an important new project entitled Venice Production Bridge has been introduced to ensure continuity, but also to surpass and fine-tune the Venice Film Market first held in 2012.

The image of the bridge expresses perfectly well the philosophy of this new Venetian market. The idea consists in building an opportunity of encountering and networking for all the professionals involved in production. The new Venice Production Bridge is established to foster the development and production of international and European projects across a range of audio-visual forms.

This new evolution brings us to develop the Venice Gap Financing Market into on one of the major new trends in contemporary production, which is the co-existence of a diversity of platforms fostered by the digital revolution: TV series, web-series and, above all, the new frontier represented by VR/Virtual Reality, which is currently attracting major investments and the most advanced technological research.

Consequently, the Venice Gap Financing Market is proud to present you this year 40 projects in the final stages of development and funding, divided as follows: 25 projects for feature-length fiction films and feature documentaries from around the world, 4 European projects for TV Series, 8 projects for films to be produced as Virtual Reality & Interactive experiences and 3 projects for Web Series.

Finally, we are particularly proud of having again the invaluable support of the MEDIA program of the European Union for this 2016 edition and also of having widened the number of eligible countries to the whole world.

These projects bring together a great variety of filmmakers, working across a diverse range of forms, contents, budgets and genres and we look forward to welcoming you to three effective and inspiring days in Venice from September 2nd to 4th.
