A BALLAD now in development
- The Kosovo Cinematography Center (KCC) supports 17 films this year. Seven of them are feature films, including VERA DREAMS OF THE SEA by Kaltrina Krasniqi, producer: EAVE graduate Shkumbin Istrefi. As a minority co-production, the KCC also supports the Macedonian project FREEDOM OR DEATH by Vladimir Blazevski, producer: EAVE graduate Darko Popov. Four films are funded for script development, including the documentary GJAKMARRJA, written and directed by Marija Zidar, producer: EAVE group leader Danijel Hocevar.
- A BALLAD, written and directed by Aida Begic, producer: EAVE graduate Adis Djapo is in development. Begic’s new project is a story about love in post-apocalyptic Bosnia and Herzegovina where myths and reality intertwine. A mythical couple, Fatima and Hasan, are divorcing under strange circumstances. The divorce will lead one of them to death and leave their five children orphans. As they attempt to discover the real reason behind their divorce, they will share with the audience the moving stories of their own lives in today’s post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina. Development support comes from Creative Europe and also automatic support for production in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the BH Film Fund. The budget is 1.5 M EUR with 150,000 EUR already secured. Shooting is scheduled for 2016.
- POWER by Matyas Prikler, co-producer: EAVE graduate Viktoria Petrányi is in development. The story follows the Slovak and Hungarian Foreign ministers as they meet at an informal hunt in southern Slovakia. A young assistant is killed by accident when the Slovak minister fires his gun accidentally, but since he is a candidate for a high position in the European Commission, the media starts to investigate his possible involvement in the killing. The developement of the project was supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund. The first draft of the script and the initial concept of casting and locations are already ready. Shooting is planned for winter 2016-2017. The Slovak/Hungarian/Czech coproduction is the first Slovak project selected for the Holland Film Meeting.
- EAVE graduate Isabelle Truc’s Iota Production has several films in development: The documentaries COEUR DE SOLDAT by Stefan Dumont and Julien Maes, ELLES DISENT by Charlotte Diament, the short film CLEBS by Fabien Dehasseler, the long fiction films BONJOUR MADAME by Elisabet Llado, NOS BATAILLES by Guillaume Senez, NIGHT by Philippe Pierpont, and several others.

DON’T TELL HER now shooting in Brussels

The film is also supported by Kuratorium junger deutscher Film, BKM and DFFF.
- DON’T TELL HER by Solange Cicurel, producer: EAVE graduate and group leader Diana Elbaum is shooting. The comedy episode film poses the question, why is it that the more we love, the more we lie?

DON’T TELL HER has received backing from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and Wallimage. The shoot will continue in Brussels until mid-October.
- LE ULTIME COSE by Irene Dionisio, producer: EAVE graduate Carlo Cresto-Dina is shooting. The debut film by Irene Dionisio, which tells three stories that intertwine at the ‘Banco dei Pegni’ (the offices of the State moneylender) in modern-day Turin, is being produced by Carlo Cresto-Dina’s production company Tempesta with Rai Cinema in co-production with Amka Films and Ad Vitam. LE ULTIME COSE, which will be shot over five weeks entirely in Turin, has received financial support from the Film Commission Torino Piemonte and the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism.

He’s having a hard time getting to know other kids and learning the new language. But then Morris meets that one girl: Katrin! Supported by MFG Baden-Württemberg, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Hessische Filmförderung and DFFF.
- WELL by Attila Gigor, producer: EAVE graduate Ferenc Pusztai is in post-production. Written by the director, the film’s story is set in a petrol station in the middle of nowhere. A young man arrives to meet his father, whom he hasn’t seen for 30 years. On the same day, a van with four prostitutes breaks down at the very same petrol station, on the way to Switzerland. The three days that the characters spend together will change their lives forever. Produced by Ferenc Pusztai for KMH Film, WELL is benefiting from support from the Hungarian Film Fund.
- MAIKÄFER FLIEG! by Mirjam Unger, producer: EAVE graduate Gabriele Kranzelbinder is in post-production. The film tells the story of the war and the Russian occupation of Vienna in 1945 seen through the eyes of little Christine. Filming took place in Cermes, Merano and Vipiteno.

Participants looking for projects in which to become involved as co-producers may apply as from November 2015.
Over 200 feature films selected for previous Berlinale Co-Production Markets have been realised to date, i.e., nearly 50% of the projects have been made into films.Five earlier projects from four different continents that were successfully realised as co-productions played at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival: Big Father, Small Father and Other Stories by Phan Dang Di, Zurich by Sacha Polak and The Boda Boda Thieves by the collective Yes!

EXTENDED DEADLINE: EAVE Producers Workshop 2016 - September 25, 2015
EAVE, European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs, is one of the leading training and development providers for producers in Europe, renowned for its EAVE 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, 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 workshop 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 2015 and the selection will be announced in December 2015. The 3 workshops take place during March 3 - 10 in Luxembourg (LU), June (dates TBC) in Lithuania (LT) and October/November (dates TBC) in Prague (CZ), 2016.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: September 25, 2015
