Thanks to the support of Media International, TorinoFilmLab, the Dubai International Film Festival and EAVE are launching a new Middle East – Europe Training: Interchange – TFL/DIFF/EAVE Development and Co-production Workshops.
The aim is to build cooperation between film professionals from Europe, the Gulf countries and selected countries of the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon, occupied Palestinian territory, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman), selecting 12 teams of writer/director + producer and bringing them together for 2 residential 4 and 5-day workshops, one in Torino in April and one in Dubai in December.
The training is designed to match the needs of experienced professionals who want to develop their skills by concrete work on their projects, under the expert guidance of international tutors, and who are ready to share their ideas with colleagues and involve themselves in discussions in order to improve and increase their knowledge.
Film professionals should have a demonstrable track record of producing in their own country and perhaps internationally. This could include the production of feature films, documentaries, music videos, advertising. A good knowledge of English is essential in order to participate.
To apply: through Torinofilmlab website www.torinofilmlab.it.
Send the application to interchange@torinofilmlab.it and one hard copy to: TorinoFilmLab, via Cagliari 42, 10153 Torino - Italy.
