EXCLUSIVE: Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF, August 14-20) and newly formed production outfit Unified are partnering on a special strand of events as part of the industry programme at this year’s festival.
Unified was founded this year by Aftersun producer Amy Jackson, vice chair of the EIFF board, and former Film4 exec and Beast producer Lauren Dark and is focused on developing a film and television slate as well as positioning themselves as go-to UK partners for international coproductions.
The strand will connect new filmmakers with established industry professionals and explore successful international partnership models. Unifed will curate a series of panels and talks, hosting conversations between filmmakers and executives from across the industry. The strand aims to connect exciting new filmmaking talent with high level industry figures, working locally and internationally.
EIFF’s programme launch will be on July 2.
