Greenhouse, a training project for documentary films for Mediterranean film school graduates and emerging filmmakers, funded by Euromed Audiovisual, has just announced that 15 projects and 22 filmmakers from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco and Tunisia will take part in its 2012 programme.  

The 15 documentary projects were selected out of 84 submissions.

The 22 selected filmmakers will participate in three seminars during 2012-2013. The first seminar, on dramatic narrative and main characters, will take place in Aqaba, Jordan, from August 29 to September 3, 2012.

Greenhouse will continue working with the same prominent international experts for this year's round: John Appel, Bruni Burres, Nenad Puhovski, and Steven Seidenberg, as well as Hans Robert Eisenhaur, who will guide the filmmakers through the programme.

Greenhouse's intensive and comprehensive programme aims to lead the filmmakers' projects from their development to a complete production file and trailer, to be presented to the international documentary film market at a pitching event in January 2013.
