Show Notes

On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, a leading buyer and seller share their thoughts on the first ever edition of TIFF: The Market, which kicks off as part of the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

Screen’s Americas editor Jeremy Kay is joined by Arianna Bocco, SVP global distribution and acquisitions at Mubi, and Zach Glueck, co-founder of the international sales agency Manifest Pictures.

The trio discuss how TIFF: The Market could stand out from the likes of Cannes, Berlin and the AFM, why many buyers have “decoupled their budgets from individual markets”, and what they are looking forward to in the festival lineup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
