INTRODUCTION
US IN PROGRESS is a joint initiative between Black Rabbit Film, Champs-Elysées Film Festival in Paris
and American Film Festival in Wroclaw (Poland). It is the first and only industry event devoted to US
indies in Europe. Its aim is to present US indie films in post-production to European buyers in order to
foster the circulation and distribution of American indie films in Europe. US in Progress involves two yearly
2
get-togethers at two different festivals (Paris in June and Wroclaw in October).
Why an event for American cinema in Europe?
The dominant position of American cinema in all European markets is indeed an obvious fact. But by
American films, we usually mean studio produced-movies big budget films that give an entertaining but
also a formulated vision of the United States. Outside this studio-driven system, there exists today an
interesting and lively independent film scene. But very few of these films find distribution abroad. Most indie
movies lack an international strategy and most European buyers simply are not aware of the existence of
these movies.
The objective of the US in Progress Program is to create new bridges between talented US indie filmmakers
and top European buyers and introduce new voices from America on the European film scene.
5 feature films and 2 special screenings of 30 minutes fragments have been selected for our Paris Program
this year. These films will be screened to 40 top European sales agents, distributors, festivals programmers
and producers. All the films participating in US in progress this year are features produced by emerging and
established filmmakers and have no previous exposure in the European market place.
