Managing Director, Fortissimo Films

Why will your new titles appeal to buyers?
The new slate and library (nearly 300 features) we bring to MIPTV offers an eclectic range of international titles which have been recognized by Festivals, by critics, and by their performance in commercial theatrical release. These films and documentaries represent features of the highest international standard which we believe should also appeal to television and ancillary audiences around the globe.

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?
We are looking at expanding our base of television and ancillary buyers and MIPTV offers us the perfect venue to expose our product line to a growing number of buyers. Our recent sales results at the Sundance Festival and Berlin’s EFM, give us confidence that the buying mood is coming back and we see a gradual improvement in the market. Challenging conditions still remain but we are confident that the environment is improving.
