On May 17, the French and Italian producers presented their projects and discussed possible agreements for starting up co-productions and restoring the splendour of years past to Italian and French cinema, when hundreds of films were co-produced in the two countries.

May 19 was dedicated to Italian and Spanish producers, who met and discussed the projects to be brought forward in co-productions.
