The Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) has announced the four projects selected for its 2017 HBF+Europe: Minority Co-production Support scheme.

Six films have been selected for Films in Progress 32, the programme of subsidies to Latin American cinema which will run from 25 to 27 September, during the 65th San Sebastián International Film Festival (22-30 September). Two films are produced by EAVE graduates.
- KAIROS by Nicolás Buenaventura, producer: EAVE graduate Jean des Fôrets
- PUENTES project AUGUST by Armando Capó Ramos, producer: PUENTES graduate Marcela Esquivel
- ARDENNES by Catherine Clarinval, producers: EAVE Marketing Workshop graduate Julie Esparbes and PUENTES graduate Anthony Rey is in development. Jill and Lucas are brother and sister. They are thirty years old and live together in a small apartment in Brussels. Their relationship is exclusive; they are inseparable. Lucas is obese. He doesn’t speak, and suffers from a very particular problem. He hasn’t taken off his Mexican wrestler’s costume since childhood. It seems to have grown with him, it’s splitting open all over, the seams are giving under his weight, his skin is necrosed and purplish. Jill wants him to take it off, but Lucas stubbornly and violently refuses. The woman finds herself cornered; if a solution isn’t found, she risks losing her brother forever.
The Greek Film Centre (GFC) has announced its funding pre-approvals for eight Greek film projects that have applied for the Basic Film Production Program and for five film projects that are eligible for the Incentives Program to Attract Foreign Productions to Greece if they have a Greek producer as a minority partner. Among the selected projects are:
- AILOUROEIDES by Memi Koupa, producer: EAVE+ graduate Fenia Cossovitsa
- O ANTHROPOS ME TIS APANTISEIS by Stelios Kammitsis, producer: EAVE graduate Vicky Miha, EAVE+ graduate Fenia Cossovitsa
- O KSENISTIS by Yorgos Zois, producer: EAVE graduate Maria Drandaki
- BARBAROSSA by Sotiris Goritsas, producer: EAVE graduate Vicky Miha
- BRIGHTON 4TH by Levan Koguashvili, co-producer: EAVE graduate Maria Tsigka
- DUCKS (HOPE AND DESPAIR) by Shahar Rozen, co-producer: EAVE graduate Konstantina Stavrianou
- THE FATHER by Kristina Grozeva, Petar Valchanov, co-producer: EAVE graduate Konstantina Stavrianou
- OLD TIMERS by Martin Dusek, producer: EAVE graduate Jiri Konecny is in developemt. The film follows two former political prisoners who set off across the country in a camper van in order to seek out and kill a once-feared communist prosecutor from the 1950s, who was never officially sanctioned for his actions. Martin Dusek and Ondrej Provaznik are co-writing and co-directing. According to the filmmakers, the film will show the contrast between what the characters see as urgent and the contemporary life, which in a certain sense is indifferent to their the traumas and their efforts to relieve them. Instead of action heroes, we have old-timers who are limited in many ways – by age, health, and in the case of the protagonist, by many years of exile. Development is supported by the Czech State Cinematography Fund. Principal photography is planned from April to June 2018.
The Serbian Film Center supports two co-productions by EAVE graduates.

The story of a 29-year-old unemployed girl, who is stuck in the midst of Slovenia's seemingly never-ending economic crisis, is Menart’s debut feature. The film is a comedy/drama about disillusionment, shame and the gap between the overeducated, underemployed millennials and their parents, who had high expectations for their kids and feel powerless when watching them fail.
Produced by Vertigo in coproduction with NuFrame, 100 and RTV Slovenia, the project was supported by the Slovenian Film Center. Technical support was provided by Studio Viba Film. Shooting in Ljubljana and its surroundings is expected to wrap in October.

- LAZZARO FELICE by Alice Rohrwacher, producer: EAVE graduate Carlo Cresto-Dina is shooting. Through the adventures of Lazzaro, a naïve man born in a farming hamlet that has thoroughly steered clear of the modern world, the director intends to adopt the style of a poetic tale as she studies the profound, major changes that have taken place in Italian society over the last 30 years. Staged by Italian outfit Tempesta, the feature is being co-produced by French Ad Vitam Production, AMKA Films Productions (Switzerland) and Pola Pandora Filmproduktion (Germany).
The film was funded by MiBACT (Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities), Switzerland's Federal Office of Culture, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Eurimages and CNC’s World Cinema fund, the Lazio regional fund and the prestigious Grand Accord ARTE scheme.
- CARAVAN by Sebastian Schipper, co-producer: EAVE graduate Jonas Dornbach is shooting. In this daring road movie, the filmmaker sends two 18-year-olds on a stirring trip across Europe. A young man from the Congo in search of his brother attempts to cross Europe’s borders. In Morocco, he teams up with a sharp-witted British runaway who pinched his stepfather’s recreational vehicle in order to escape from a family holiday. On their journey, the disparate duo has to make decisions that will also influence the lives of others. Set against the backdrop of the refugee crisis, the script was penned by Schipper and German writer-director Oliver Ziegenbalg. CARAVAN will be shot over a period of 11 weeks in Morocco, Spain and France. At the end of October, the picture is scheduled to wrap in Calais, amongst Europe’s lost refugees. The film is being staged as a German-French co-production by Schipper’s Berlin-based company Missing Link Films and France’s Kazak Productions. Further production partners include Berlin-based production outfit Komplizen Film, StudioCanal, WDR, Arte, ARD Degeto and Radical Media. The production has received financial support from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, the FFA, Eurimages, the French-German mini co-production treaty, BKM and the DFFF.

Berlinale Co-Production Market: Submit Feature Film and Series
Projects Now and Find International Partners
Until October 11, experienced producers from around the world may submit new feature-length film projects in need of co-producers to the 15th Berlinale Co-Production Market (February 18 – 21, 2018). The project budget should be between one and 20 million euros, and at least 30% of the financing or local production support should already be in place.
Projects from countries with difficult conditions, where projects are produced with smaller average budgets, are subject to a lower budget rule in order to facilitate easier access to the international market. Once again this year, producers from regions supported by the World Cinema Fund - Latin America, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the Caucasus - may submit projects with budgets of approximately 750,000 euros or more. This exception also applies to feature-length projects from Greece, Spain, Portugal and Southeast Europe.
In addition, three promising new “Berlinale Directors” projects will be included in the selection - these are projects by directors who have had films presented at the Berlinale in previous years. These projects also do not need to have the full 30% financing in place to submit, and so can begin finding partners early in their development.
By late December, approximately 25 feature film projects will have been selected from all submissions to the Berlinale Co-Production Market. Another ten projects will be presented at the “Talent Project Market” in cooperation with Berlinale Talents - the submission deadline for this programme is September 4.
The Berlinale Co-Production Market team creates a tailored meeting schedule for each selected project. Around 1,300 individually pre- planned one-on-one meetings with interested potential co-producers, financiers, sales agents, distributors, TV channels and other supporters take place during the market. Producers and financiers looking for co- production projects can apply for participation in November 2017.
In addition to the feature-length film projects, a number of international companies without projects will also be introduced at the Berlinale Co- Production Market “Company Matching” programme. At the pitching events “CoPro Series” and “Books at Berlinale”, participants once again have the opportunity to discover new series projects and novel material for the screen.
