Digital Labs: film producers

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Digital Labs
Location: Online
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: House of Europe

The Ukrainian film industry of the independence era is very young. In 10 years of its existence, we started creating films that win prizes at international festivals, but there is still much to learn.

During the Digital Lab, prosperous film industry pros from the EU, UK, and Ukraine will define the role of producer on each stage of cinema production: from finding the right scenario to searching for funding to shooting to promotion. Producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, and technical team representatives will share their experiences.  In the end, you will learn more about cinema production and design your own project of a video. 

The Lab will run for nine days from 7 to 15 September 2021. We invite translators: you will communicate with foreign experts fluently. 

Carefully study the application guidelines, join the Digital Lab, and produce outstanding films. 
 

What do I get?
  • Ready-to-produce video project and the understanding of your tasks on each stage of its implementation: pre-production, production, and postproduction 
  • More than 15 lectures and workshops on film production: script, funding, team, rights on music, promotion, cooperation with governmental institutions, and EU co-production
  • More than 5 hours of mentoring sessions with more experienced peers from the EU, UK, and Ukraine where you will ask them whatever you find interesting and necessary
