Telefilm Canada is sending three Canadian film teams to next month’s No Borders international co-production market in New York City to rustle up much-needed production coin.

The three local projects to be pitched at the Independent Film Week’s financing forum are Inch’Allah, from director Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette and producers Luc Déry and Kim McGraw of micro-scope; The Book of Negroes, by Clement Virgo and producer partner Damon D’Oliveira of Conquering Lion Pictures in Toronto; and The Hum, directed by Isabelle Raynauld and produced by Pierre Even, Marie-Claude Poulin and Elizabeth Morgan Hemlock of Item 7 in Montreal and British producer partner Arturi Films.

The No Borders forum, set to run from September 19 to 24, comes at the end of a North American swing for Canadian and foreign film producers that starts in Toronto and continues at the Strategic Partners co-production forum in Halifax in mid-September.

The Israel Film Fund is also bankrolling the Israel-Canada-France coproduction Inheritance, by director Hiam Abbas and producers Ina Fichman, Yariv Mozer, Arik Bernstein and Nicolas Blanc, to be shopped at the No Borders financing forum.
