Organised this year by the Film Fund Luxembourg, the 16th edition of the French-speaking Co-production Meetings (RCF), aimed at facilitating the co-production of fiction feature films in French, will unspool from 13 to 16 November 2019 in Luxembourg. Each year, these meetings bring together over one hundred film industry professionals - producers, financial partners, international sales agents and distributers - hailing from Europe, Quebec and Canada and Francophone Africa. As such, they represent an ideal opportunity for assessing the potential for co-production ventures with fellow professionals and corporates from these same regions.
