The three industry professionals will share their know-how in sales and marketing with producers and distributors selected for the distribution lab in Helsinki (April 16-18).

Nordic Distribution Boost is a new training initiative launched by Nordisk Film & TV Fond to help Nordic producers and distributors of medium-sized films, hone their skills in audience outreach and marketing in the neighbouring Nordic countries and internationally.

Five to seven filmmaking teams will be selected for the two-day residential lab - free of charge - and will benefit from one-to one mentoring, case studies and networking opportunities in a small-scale environment.

Nordisk Film & TV Fond are proud to announce that Miira Paasilinna, CEO of Yellow Affair, Jan Naszewski, CEO of New Europe Film Sales and Freddy Neumann, managing director of Neumann PR & Strategic Communication have agreed to join Nordic Distribution Boost as experts.

Furthermore, a case study on the film Borg/McEnroe will be introduced by SF Studios’ producer Jon Nohrstedt and Head of International Sales Anita Simovic and a second case study will be confirmed later.

The Fund have also agreed on partnerships with the main industry events in the Nordics - Helsinki Film Festival’s industry sidebar Finnish Film Affair, the Göteborg Film Festival’s Nordic Film Market, and New Nordic Films, part of the Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund. Some of the Nordic Distribution Boost projects will be presented at those platforms.
