- LE PLUS VIVANT POSSIBLE by Delphine Girard, producer: EAVE graduate Henri-Jacques is in production. The young Belgian will be reunited with three characters she knows well from her short film UNE SOEUR, where we crossed the destinies of three characters brought together by an attack: a man, a woman, and another woman. LE PLUS VIVANT POSSIBLE finds them again and wonders about their future. During a party that goes wrong, Dary assaults Aly, Aly calls the police, Anna takes the call. In the aftermath of that night, they must face the echoes of this violence that changed all three of them. Aly tries to get on with her life and minimise the effects of the attack on her life. Dary tries to tell himself a version of events he can live with. Anna decides she wants to remain part of the story. What would justice and repair mean? The film is produced by Versus Production (Belgium) and co-produced by Haut et Court (France), Colonelle Films (Canada) and The Reunion (Belgium).
- IO CAPITANO by Matteo Garrone, co-producer: TTB graduate Valerie Bournonville is shooting. A modern-day Odyssey traversing the perils of the desert, the dangers of the sea and the ambiguities of human beings: this is how Matteo Garrone’s hotly anticipated film Io capitano has been described by its production team in a press release announcing the commencement of filming these past few days in Dakar, Senegal. The film shoot will also unfold in Morocco and Italy over a total period of 13 weeks.This Italian-Belgian co-production is a Homeric tale recounting the adventurous journey of two youngsters, Seydou and Moussa, who leave Dakar for Europe. The screenplay was penned by the director himself, who found inspiration for his film in the real-life stories told by Kouassi Pli Adama Mamadou, Arnaud Zohin, Amara Fofana, Brhane Tareke and Siaka Doumbia, all young people who actually made the journey embarked upon in the film. IO CAPITANO is produced by Archimede together with RAI Cinema, in co-production with Tarantula and in collaboration with Pathé. Support comes from Wallimage.
- CLARA by Sabin Dorohoi, producer: EAVE graduate Daniel Burlac is shooting. Following a development stage that took almost a decade, Romanian director Sabin Dorohoi has started the shoot for his first feature, Clara, in the German city of Ulm. The project is being staged by the director and Daniel Burlac through Western Transylvania Studios (Romania). The companies co-producing are Eyrie Entertainment (Germany) and Chainsaw Europe Studio (Romania). The screenplay centres on Clara, a former teacher who leaves her family in a poor Romanian village to work as a live-in nanny for a German family. Her son Ionut misses her deeply, and a decision that he makes will force Clara to reconsider her path in life. After the shoot in Germany, the production will move to Romania, in cities and villages in the Banat region. Production is expected to wrap after 23 shooting days. The project was supported by the Romanian National Film Center and ZDF/ARTE. According to the director the film is deeply personal, as he was one of the many children left behind by Romanians searching for better work opportunities abroad or in other cities. “In every Romanian family, there is at least a relative, a brother, a mother, a sister, a father, who left the country to work abroad. This is a gigantic social phenomenon, and I felt the need to pour my soul into a film about this very timely Romanian issue,” the director explains.
- OBSERVING by Janez Burger, producer: EAVE graduate Miha Cernec, EAVE graduate and Slovenian National Coordinator Jozko Rutar is in production. Being inspired by a real event, the film follows 27-year-old Lara, a paramedic intern who helps bring 30-year-old Kristijan into the hospital, after he was brutally beaten on a Facebook Live stream that was seen by 20,000 people, with no one calling the police. Although Kristijan is in a coma, Lara starts to receive video clips from his Facebook account, showing unidentified persons watching him get beaten. She reports this to detective Borut who starts an investigation. All of the observers who appear in the video clips will become Lara's nightmare in her real life. She soon realises that she is also an accomplice in this horrible event. The film is produced by Miha Cernec and Jozko Rutar for Ljubljana-based Staragara, and co-produced by Croatia's Propeler Film, Italy's Transmedia, and Kaval Film from North Macedonia. The film’s executive producer is EAVE graduate Nina Robnik. OBSERVING, which will be filmed over an estimated 35 days in and around Ljubljana, Trieste and Gorizia, has received the financial support of the Slovenian Film Centre, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, RTV Slovenija, Viba Film Studio, the North Macedonia Film Agency, Creative Europe – MEDIA, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Film Commission and the Italian Ministry of Culture.
- LES DERNIERS HOMMES by David Oelhoffen, co-producer: EAVE graduate Henri-Jacques Bronckart is shooting. Based on Alain Gandy’s book Les Chiens Jaunes, the story takes us back to March 1945. The Japanese army launch a sudden, brutally violent assault on the French garrisons in the Far East. Thousands of civilians and soldiers are killed. Stalked by the Japanese enemy, a column of legionnaires who are already weakened by alcohol and disease decide to traverse the jungle in an attempt to reach China and allied bases. LES DERNIERS HOMMES is produced by Jacques Perrin on behalf of Galatée Films, in co-production with Belgium’s Versus Productions and Allons voir. Pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature film enjoys support from French Guyana, where the film will be shot in its entirety until mid-April.
- 5 & ½ LOVE STORIES IN AN APPARTMENT IN VILNIUS, LITHUANIA by Tomas Vengris, co-producer: EAVE FFF graduate Roberts Vinovskis is in production. The film revolves around five guests who experience a romantic crisis in an Airbnb in Vilnius, unaware of the stories that have transpired within the same walls and under the same bedsheets. Between each episode and the next, the quiet cleaning lady, Jolanta, arrives to wipe away the evidence of their joys and tragedies, while her own love story unfolds. We will spend the entirety of the film within these walls, following “a collection of stories revealing the elusive but real beauty in ordinary life”. The film is being produced by Uljana Kim for Lithuania’s Studio Uljana Kim, and co-produced by Ireland’s Tiger Darling Productions and Roberts Vinovskis for Latvia’s Studio Locomotive. The project has received additional backing from the Lithuanian Film Centre, Eurimages, Screen Ireland and the National Film Centre of Latvia.
LABOUR DAY by Mladen Dordevic is in post-production
- TENGO SUENOS ELECTRICOS by Valentina Maurel, producer: EAVE graduate Benoit Roland is in post-production. The young, Belgian-based director of Costa Rican origin shot the film last November and December in San José, Costa Rica. The story follows in the footsteps of a young teenager. Eva can't stand the fact that her mother wants to renovate the house and get rid of the cat, which, disorientated since the divorce, pees everywhere. Eva wants to go and live with her father, who, disorientated like the cat, is going through a second adolescence. Eva follows him while he tries to reconnect with his desire to become an artist and find love again. But like someone who crosses an ocean of adults without knowing how to swim, Eva will also discover the rage that gnaws at him, and which she unknowingly inherited from him. The film is produced by Wrong Men (Belgium), and co-produced by Tres Tigres Films (Costa Rica) and Geko Films (France).
- WHOSE DOG AM I? by Robert Lakatos, co-producer: EAVE graduate and Romanian National Coordinator Ada Solomon is in post-production. The film produced by Rita Balogh through Hungary’s OTHER Films in co-production with Alexandru and Ada Solomon through Romania’s microFILM talks Big Politics through the politics of the dog world. The film is about politics in a world where citizens are dogs, politicians are dog breeders, national institutions are local dog breeders’ associations while the highest international forum is the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale, World Canine Organisation). The film is a 55% Hungarian / 45% Romanian coproduction, and it was supported by the Creative Europe programme, the Romanian Film Centre (CNC), the National Film Institute - Hungary and the Romanian public broadcaster TVR.
- LABOUR DAY by Mladen Dordevic, producer: EAVE graduate and Serbian National Coordinator Milan Stojanovic, co-producers: EAVE graduate, group leader and Croatian National Coordinator Ankica Juric Tilic, EAVE graduates Maria Drandaki and Anamaria Antoci is in post-production. The story follows a group of former workers from a recently closed factory, who resort to the supernatural in their fight for personal dignity. “Labour Day is a film about the potential for rebellion that people carry within themselves. It is also about the almost unlimited power and strength, which are also present in all of us, mostly hidden. With this film, I want to express my personal view on the very painful topic of the transition from a socialist to a capitalist society, but from, it seems to me, a fresh angle, combining engaged socio-political realism with elements of a psychological thriller", Mladen Dordevic said in a statement. He also penned the script. The film is produced by Milan Stojanovic through Serbia’s Sense Production and Mladen Dordevic through Serbia’s Banda Film, in co-production with Bulgaria’s Agitprop, Ankica Juric Tilic through Croatia’s Kinorama, Maria Drandaki through Greece’s Homemade Films, Montenegro’s Adriatic Western, and Anamaria Antoci through Romania’s Tangaj Production. The production has been supported by Film Center Serbia, the Bulgarian National Film Center, the Croatian Audivisual Center, the Greek Film Center, the Film Centre of Montenegro and Eurimages. The project is also co-financed by the Greek Television ERT.

EAVE Yoga Corner
Dear EAVE Yogis,
It was sooo wonderful to practise yoga together with the participants of the EAVE Producers Workshop in Luxembourg!
When 20 yogis showed up for my yoga class on the first day, it was kind of a shock for me, since my in person classes during the pandemic are very small! But it was also such a wonderful surprise and that you kept coming to my morning yoga sessions despite super busy schedule! Thank you!
I’m back to Berlin and you are all welcome to join the EAVE Online Yoga, your peaceful place where you can stretch your body in a gentle way and practice pranayama (breathing) in a small group of yogis.
In YOGA, the physical body, the sense organs, the emotions, mind and consciousness are trained slowly and gradually. Restorative yoga practice brings you an opportunity to build flexibility and strength in a gentle way and helps you to reduce stress and to quiet down your mind.

19:30 – 21:00 CET

The EAVE Producers Workshop’s 2022 edition has kicked off on-site in Luxembourg!
In partnership with Film Fund Luxembourg, we were thrilled to welcome for the first time this year the selected 55 producers and professionals from 35 countries to develop the 31 selected documentary, feature film and series projects, as well as their careers, company structures and entrepreneurial skills at the EAVE Producers Workshop 2022.
The first of 3 residential workshops took place from March 4–11 at the Légère Premium Hotel Luxembourg. Workshop 2 will take place in Pärnu (Estonia) in June and Workshop 3 in Barcelona (Spain) in October.
Some highlights of this week:
- Introduction to Series Development and Production: EAVE graduate Yvonne Donohoe (Blinder Films, IE) shared her experience and insight on what it takes to move into producing series.
- Content and Strategy – the Producer’s Role from Development to Audience: EAVE Head of Studies Lise Lense-Møller (Magic Hour Films, DK) devoted her plenary session to the specific questions and challenges related to the role of a producer from early development until the release of the film.
- Become a PMD/marketing expert: Sarah Calderon (The Film Agency, ES) runs a special ‘marketing incubator programme’ in the groups and over the whole year, offering an intense PMD marketing training in cooperation with the EAVE Marketing Workshop.
Various plenary sessions around script development strategies, legal aspects of development, company planning, film finance, documentary film production, were part of the schedule.
The participants started their EAVE journey under the guidance of EAVE Head of Studies Lise Lense-Møller (Magic Hour Films, DK), the four group leaders, Ankica Jurić Tilić (Kinorama, HR), Michael Kitzberger (Nikolaus Geyrhalter Filmproduktion GmbH, AT), Riina Sildos (Amrion, EE) and Jani Thiltges (Samsa Film, LU); the script consultants Jacques Akchoti (FR), Martin Daniel (USA), Clare Downs (UK), TV series consultant Ossi Nishri (IL), and documentary expert Sylvia Stevens (Faction Films, UK).
They were joined by the EAVE specialized experts - for Finance and Company Planning: Linda Beath (Ideal Filmworks, IT), Marketing: Sarah Calderon (The Film Agency, ES), Pitching: Sibylle Kurz (DE) and Legal Issues: Katrine Schlüter Schierbeck (The Law Factory, DK), who shared their expertise in plenary and group work sessions as well as individual meetings.
All plenary sessions were open for interested local professionals.
