The Film Office facilitates contacts between representatives of films in the official programme, festival programmers and international buyers present at the festival.
Together with IFFR's Programme department, the Film Office ensures that distributors and buyers are fully informed about and able to view the newly completed films in the festival programme, and pursue to enhance the potential for film acquisitions by animating contacts between buyers and filmmakers or producers who represent a film in the festival selection.
As part of the Film Office’s services, filmmakers are encouraged to take one-on-one consultancy meetings with the Industry consultants during the festival. The Film Office is also the first point of contact for the Press & Industry Screenings and the

Upon request, attendance reports of the Press and Industry Screenings and the Video Library will be made available to the films’ rights holders within 24 hours of the screenings.
