- MY NAME IS EMILY by Simon Fitzmaurice, producer: EAVE 1998 graduate Lesley McKimm has commenced principal photography. It is Fitzmaurice’s debut feature. He was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in 2008 just after his short film The Sound Of People screened at the Sundance Film festival. Though completely paralysed, he typed the script for the film, as well as his bestselling book It’s Not Yet Dark by using his eyes and iris recognition software. The film follows a 16-year-old girl who escapes from her foster home and, with the help of the boy who loves her, sets out to find her father, a writer who is confined to a psychiatric institution. Irish companies Newgrange Pictures and Kennedy Films are producing with financing from the Irish Film Board, Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, TV3 and the Irish tax incentive, with co-production finance expected from Sweden and Norway. The Irish producers also ran a crowd-funding campaign that netted more than €100,000.

This thriller, set in 1992, three years after the fall of the Berlin wall; six months before the split of Czecho-Slovakia is based on the novel by Dominik Dan: Young detective Richard Krauz starts working on the case of a murdered sexton in the summer of 1992, after the poor man has been found with a nail driven through his skull. Soon, Krauz discovers that communist secret police were behind the torturing of the sexton as well as a missing document detailing crimes committed by priests, with which the secret police blackmailed the church. The trail leads to an expert on interrogations from within the communist secret police, the so-called “Red Captain”. Along with Czech outfit Fog'n'Desire Films, Slovak company Sokol Kollár is co-producing THE RED CAPTAIN together with Poland's Mental Disorder 4. The project has received support from the Czech Republic's State Cinematography Fund and the Slovak Audiovisual Fund. Shooting takes place in Bratislava, Prague, Krakow, Budapest and Olomouc, while various other scenes will be shot in May 2015.
- JE SUIS UN SOLDAT by Laurent Larivière, co-producer: EAVE 1988/89 graduate Hubert Toint is shooting. The story revolves around a thirty-year-old woman who is forced to go back and live at her mother’s house. For lack of a job, she agrees to work for one of her uncles at a kennel that turns out to be the nerve centre for a dog-trafficking operation that deals in animals from Eastern Europe. Having been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature is also backed by the CNC’s advance on receipts and the Eurimages fund.
- LOUDER THAN BOMBS by Joachim Trier, executive producer: EAVE 1995 graduate Sigve Endresen started principal photography in New York. Trier’s first English-language film was postponed for almost a year after the €6.4 million funding fell through. Written by Trier together with Eskil Vogt, LOUDER THAN BOMBS tells the story of a famous war photographer who is killed in a car accident, leaving behind her husband and two sons, one a teenager. Three years after her death, the eldest son comes home for an exhibition of her photography – and that is when they discover an unsettling secret from her past. The Norwegian-French-Danish co-production of Motlys, Memento Films, Nimbus Film, was joined by the US companies Animal Kingdom, Beachside Film and Bona Fide.

The film is a story of a seemingly nice family consisting of a mother, father and 11-year-old daughter, but the main “character” of the film is their relationship. Rather than living together, they just exist next to each other. One day an explosion of a water pipe floods their downstairs neighbors’ apartment and the minor technical problem turns into a vital challenge for the family. DO YOU LOVE ME is a Lithuanian/French/Romanian co-production by the Lithuanian company Just a moment, along with the Romanian company LTD Alien Film, and Arizona Productions.

EAVE 2002 graduate Ursula Wolschlager’s Witcraft Scenario had, in collaboration with the author, turned Alissa Walser‘s novel “Mesmerized“ into a film script helping to develop a dramatically structured script. LIGHT is set in late 18th century Vienna and tells the story of highly gifted blind pianist Maria Theresia "Resi" Paradis who is handed by her distraught parents into the care of miracle healer Franz Anton Mesmer in whose palace she finds herself surrounded by an illustrious group of other patients.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: EAVE 2015 European Producers Workshop
Call for applications: EAVE 2015 European Producers Workshop - deadline September 26, 2014
EAVE, European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs, is one of the leading training and development providers for producers in Europe, renowned for its European Producers Workshop.
Who is it for?
EAVE is aimed at producers, both fiction and documentary, who are already working in the film and television industries, who wish to begin to operate on a European wide basis by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and by building up a pan European professional network. We also welcome applications from associated branches of the industry - e.g. commissioning, funding, legal and finance, festivals & markets, media administration. Each year fifty participants are selected from most of the EU countries and beyond and take part in three one-week long workshops.
How does it work?
Half the participants attend the course with projects and it is an excellent means of development through intense focus on the project with colleagues and experts throughout the year. Most participants attending with a project also bring their writer for the first two weeks which enables producer and writer to benefit together from one-to-one sessions with script experts.
During the first two workshops, in March and June, participants work within groups led by experienced producers and with several experts on script analysis, development and production financing, legal aspects of co-production, marketing, pitching, packaging and more. In the third week in October/November, around 50-60 Decision Makers (commissioning editors, national and regional media funds, sales agents, etc.) join the participants to discuss the projects, companies and careers of the participants, a process which offers unusual access to Europe's Decision Makers.
EAVE graduates join a unique network of active European producers which forms one of the backbones of the industry. Furthermore, EAVE participants and members benefit from our partnerships with the leading European film festivals and markets where EAVE facilitates graduate participation.
Timeline
The interviews with a pre-selection of candidates will take place in autumn 2014 and the selection will be announced in December 2014. The 3 workshops take place during March 9 - 16 in Luxembourg (LU), June (dates TBC) in Belgium and October/November (dates TBC) in Strasbourg (FR) 2015.

Among the guests this time are German producer and distributor Stefan Arndt who will run a company case study about his production and distribution outlets X-Filme and X-Verleih.
Anne Flamant (Head of the cinema department at the OBCNeuflize bank in France) will give an overview of new ways of film financing in the French film industry.
US indie producer Jay Van Hoy will share his experience with and provide insight into the world of the American independents and discuss methods of running creative businesses.

Led by EAVE Head of Studies Jani Thiltges (Samsa Film, LU) together with EAVE+ consultant Michael Weber (The Match Factory, DE), the keynote sessions are completed by group work sessions and 1-2-1 meetings with the guest experts as well as other participants.
Some comments from the previous editions:
« I thought it was a great four days and served as a real think tank for experienced producers to gain perspective on our changing world. »
Mike S. Ryan, Greyshack Films, USA
« The EAVE+ workshop was extremely useful on many levels - practical information on a range of subjects from promoting films on VoD platforms to how to work on one's resilience in stressful situations to raising private equity and managing those investor relationships. The networking element also really paid off in terms of finding a co-producer with access to a national fund in a country where one of my projects takes place, and that funding application is now underway. »
Natasha Dack, Tigerlily Films, UK
« It was hugely inspiring and interesting to look back and forward at our companies and the ever changing film environment in a greatly open atmosphere with an international group of colleague creative entrepreneurs. Priceless and inspiring to share thoughts and ideas, weakness and strengths about leading our companies and the ever changing film environment. »
Hanneke Niens, KeyFilm, The Netherlands
« It was the perfect moment for me and my partner to come to EAVE +, … (the) best moment to take a look… and see how it works for people with (the) same passion, but living and working in a completely different environment. »
Fernando Epstein, Mutante Cine, Uruguay
« The combination of people both participants and experts was magnificent and lead to a complete openness that I could not have imagined possible between a group of professionals at this stage of their careers. It was like an AA for producers, very painful but critical for our wellbeing. I am looking at everything since quite differently. »
Christine Alderson, Ipso Facto Films, UK

DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE 2014 in BERLIN - Open for Applications!
DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE 2014 in BERLIN - Open for Applications!
DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE enters its sixth year. The European workshop on digital production workflows, especially designed for 35 producers, line producers, production managers and post production supervisors, will take place in Berlin from 13 to 15 November 2014.
It will be run in English by an experienced pool of professionals including:
- the German producer Martin Hagemann (zero fiction; “The Turin Horse” by Béla Tarr, “Fay Grimm” by Hal Hartley, “Moloch” & “Father and Son” by Aleksandr Sokurov),
- the French DoP Philippe Ros, AFC (“Oceans” by Jacques Perrin & Jacques Cluzaud, “Home” by Yann Arthus-Bertrand),
- the German DIT Florian Rettich (“Pina” by Wim Wenders, “Die Wermessung der Welt” by Detlev Buck, “Highlander – The Source” by Brett Leonard)
- the post-production experts Ruedi Schick (Founder & CEO of Swiss Effects, Switzerland) and Tommaso Vergallo (French consultant with a 20 year experience at Swiss Effects, Duboi, Quinta and Digimage; “Amelie” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, “Asterix and Obelix, Mission Cleopatra by Alain Chabat”, “René” by Alain Cavalier, “Amour” by Michael Haneke, “Ten” by Abbas Kiarostami“, ”On the Road” by Walter Salles).
Although digital technology is now part of everyday life, a plethora of workflows on one hand and a lack of lasting standards/supports on the other make it more complicated for producers to fulfill the demands of their partners (co-producers and distributors).
DPC enables professionals to get a better grasp of this complex environment, of the tasks division between the partners involved - from the director to the post-production provider - and to acquire that shared language, thus granting them full access to the decision chain and guiding them to best position their productions within the digital workflow.
The workshop is divided into four parts:
- Comparison of workflows and case-study presentations of different budget ranges (special focus on low budget films and a "standard" budget around 2mio€) by experienced producers and their post-production providers;
- Discussions on selected participants' projects (feature or documentary films);
- Panel discussions on key topics such as teamwork, digital distribution and archiving;
- Focus subjects on selected technical aspects.
DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE is proposed by FOCAL in co-operation with Swiss Effects and with support of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union.
Registration is now open until 16 September 2014 at www.focal.ch/digiprodchallenge/form/application_form_2014.html
Participation fee for 2,5 days (including meals):
450 Euro for full board accommodation (excluding travel). Some scholarships are available.
250 Euro excluding accommodation & travel.
