The Venice Gap-Financing Market (September 1-3), part of the Venice Production Bridge, will present 34 fiction and documentary projects at the 80th Venice International Film Festival (August 30-Septmber 9), including a new project from Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir, All Before You.
All Before You offers a retelling of the 1963 farner-led revolt against British colonial rule in Palestine. Jacir’s previous director credits include The Oblivion Theory, which won the top prize at the Berlinale co-production market in 2021, Salt Of This Sea, Wajib and When I Saw You, plus TV series Ramy.
The Venice Gap-Financing Market, now marking its 10th edition, offers selected projects from Europe and around the world the opportunity to close their international financing, through one-to-one meetings with international decision-makers. This year’s focus will be Germany and Quebec.
All projects are at the final stages of development and funding. Each of the fiction feature projects has at least 70% of its funding in place.
The market also has a further 25 immersive projects and three Biennale College Cinema projects.
