MCW Studio’s, RANJ and Dunbar Studio’s are just a few of the creative companies in Rotterdam that work extensively in partnership with international companies in South East Asia, the United States and Europe.
There are three building developments in Rotterdam specially designed for the creative sector: the Schiecentrale, a former power plant converted to 10,000 m2 (100,000 sq ft) of creative space; The Creative Factory, 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft); and The Van Nelle Ontwerpfabriek (The Van Nelle Design Factory), 90,000 m2 (970,000 sq ft). Both the “Schiecentrale” and the “Van Nelle Ontwerpfabriek” are equipped with high-speed, fiber-optic communication networks.
The formula of introducing projects to potential co-producers, sales agents, television buyers, distributors and financiers in one-on-one meetings has proven to be so effective that many festivals have used the same blueprint to create their own co-production markets. CineMart is pleased to be working together with many of them, including Cannes, Berlin, Hong Kong, Independent Feature Project (IFP), Paris Cinema and CineLink.
