Event Description

'Private/ Invite only event'

What financial infrastructure is required to co-finance films within the Arab world? What are the most efficient and risk-avoidant methods of financing film projects? A distinguished group of leading financiers and executives representing various aspects of the global film industry will explore the current state of independent film financing and what the future might hold for a nascent pan-Arab film-financing ecosystem. The panel of industry experts will engage Qatar’s business community, offering valuable insight into emerging trends, risk mitigation, available financing options, distribution models, engaging sales agents, protecting investment, private equity, required legal documentation and practical approaches to structuring financing transactions. Further topics for discussion include bank debt, mezzanine financing, subsidies and tax incentives, completion bonds, collection agreements, emerging markets and how to harness private capital for viable film proposals.
