Details about the project
Supportive iniciative of Visegrád Exchange Forum is focusing on young talents, filmmakers, students at the end of their curriculum, who are trying to produce their animated short films and start an international carrier. By participating at this Anifest program they can learn more about the possibilities of European audiovisual market, meet potential coproduction partners and find new possibilities of financing a project.
Festival comitee will choose fifteen best projects that will be presented at the pitching competition organised at the Visegrád Exchange Forum at Anifest 2012. One project can be represented by one producer and one author at the most who will be attending a special preparation workshop in order to consult their projects with professionals before the final pitching. Participants will be able to enter any of Visegrád Exchange Forum lectures on modern production abilities in animation films and on development of projects lead by international experts. If you are interested we can send you transcriptions of the last year debates.
Such an event offers also unique possibilities of meeting foreign profesionals and producers looking for new talents and interesting topics from our region. The program will offer formal and informal oportunities how to meet them and discuss possibilities of coproductions in our region between countries with different production capacity. There will be also several case studies presented of such coproduction cooperation.
The first year of this iniciative was visited by local professionals but also by various international producers: Nicolas Schmerkin (Autour de Minuit), Arnaud Demuynck (Films du Nord, La Boite Production), Christian Pfohl (Lardux), Olivier Catherin (Les Trois Ours), Ron Dyens (Sacrebleu Productions), Sébastien Vincent (Eslanimation studio), Vessela Dantcheva (Fin film, Bulharsko).
There were also Sales Agents : Anja Šošič (New Europe Film Sales), Peter Haueis (KurzFilmAgentur, Hamburg e.V.).
Next year we expect also a very good line up of international producers. We will be updating the list continuously.
