Venice Gap-Financing Market Includes Projects by Jim Sheridan, Annemarie Jacir, Roberto Minervini

The 10th edition of the Venice Gap-Financing Market, organized as part of the Venice Film Festival‘s industry program Venice Production Bridge, has selected 62 projects in the final stages of development and funding.

Filmmakers taking projects to Venice include Jim Sheridan, an Oscar nominee with “In America,” “In the Name of the Father” and “My Left Foot”; Annemarie Jacir, whose credits include Cannes’ “Salt of This Sea,” Berlin’s “When I Saw You” and Locarno’s “Wajib”; Aisling Walsh, who directed “Maudie” with Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke, and “Elizabeth Is Missing” with Glenda Jackson; and Kim Mordaunt, who won best debut at Berlin with “The Rocket.”

Also selected are Roberto Minervini, who directed Cannes’ “The Other Side” and Venice’s “What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire?”; Laurynas Bareisa, who won the Venice Horizons Award for “Pilgrims”; Måns Månsson, who was in Berlin competition with “The Real Estate”; György Pálfi, who had “Taxidermia” in Cannes; and Anca Damian, known for Annecy’s “Crulic – The Path to Beyond,” “Marona’s Fantastic Tale” and “The Island.”

Others include Pietra Brettkelly, who had “The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins” in Sundance; Alicia Scherson, who had “Family Life” in Sundance; and Maura Del Pero, who had “Maternal” at Locarno.

The event, running Sept. 1-3, will give the projects’ producers and directors the chance to close their international financing through one-to-one meetings with international decision-makers, including producers, private and public financiers, banks, distributors, sales agents, TV commissioners, streamers, VOD platforms, institutions and post-production companies. All meetings will be held on-site in Venice.

The selection includes 34 feature-length fiction and documentary projects; 14 immersive projects; 11 virtual reality projects from the Biennale College Cinema program; and three fiction film projects from Biennale College Cinema.

Almost 280 project applications were received.

Projects from Germany and Quebec, which are the chosen territories for the VPB Focus section this year, are included in the lineup.
