- FALLING INTO SILENCE by György Mor Karpati, producer: EAVE graduate Viktoria Petranyi was one of three projects that were pitched at the inaugural edition of the Evia Film Project, a brand-new, green-orientated industry initiative organised by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The movie is based on the real life of Otto Herman (1835-1914), a prominent Hungarian nature scientist recognised as a pioneer of Hungarian natural history research, who slowly lost his sense of hearing. Seeking a path from solitude to acknowledgement, he ultimately becomes part of nature and comes to terms with his own disability. We follow his life from his thirties to his mid-fifties, as well as the important bonds he develops with two women. The film’s artistic approach has been described by the team as “based on silent observation, with nature-documentary elements and shot in original habitats”.

ANGEL’S TRUMPETS by Ildiko Enyedi is in shooting
- LE SYNDROME DES AMOURS PASSÉES by Ann Sirot and Raphaël Balboni, producer: EAVE graduate Julie Esparbes is shooting. The film follows the trajectory of Rémy and Sandra who can’t have children on account of a strange illness: "Past Lovers Syndrome". There is only one way to recover from it: they must spend one last night with each of their exes. Sirot and Balboni are clearly looking to explore the notion of the couple, but they’re also investigating family, what it is that unites us, what makes us a legitimate couple, what role does parenthood or faithfulness play when it comes to falling in love?
- ANGEL’S TRUMPETS by Ildiko Enyedi, co-producer: EAVE graduate Jonas Dornbach is shooting. The film is the pilot episode of the TV series about Human Trafficking of the same name. The story takes place in Békés County, in the southeast corner of Hungary. It is produced by Ákos Erdös through Paprika Studios, and coproduced by Komplizen Film, Pyramide Productions, Moliwood Films. The two protagonists of the series are Anna and Jázmin, who were victims of human trafficking and now live in a sheltered house in Hungary. After learning that Jasmine’s sister, 15-year-old Bella, may have gone abroad as well, they escape from the sheltered house to rescue her, take revenge on the mafia and thus finally be free.
- THE LAST HERO by Ziga Virc, producers: EAVE graduates Sinisa Juricic and Bostjan Virc is shooting. In the Slovenian/Greek/Croatian co-production a man is trying to prevent a German retailer chain from tearing down a statue of his father, a decorated World War II hero, and building a store on the site. Aiming to preserve the memory of the resistance movement, he is unwittingly destroying the life of his daughter. In less than 24 hours, life is turned completely upside down for everyone involved in a series of tragicomic events. Bostjan Virc through Studio Virc produces the film in co-production with Sinisa Juricic through Nukleus Film (Croatia) and Minos Nikolakakis (Greece). The project is supported by the Slovenian Film Center, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, RTV Slovenija, the Greek television broadcaster ERT and Creative Europe MEDIA, in cooperation with Film Studio Viba Film. The 25-days shooting takes place in the surroundings of Ljubljana and it is expected to end in July.
LAST SHADOW AT FIRST SIGHT is in post-production
- LAST SHADOW AT FIRST SIGHT by Nicole Midori Woodford, producers: TTB graduate Jeremy Chua, EAVE graduate Bostjan Virc wrapped shooting. The story examines the intangible nature of trauma and the ripples of its aftermath through 16-year-old Ami (Shirata) who is haunted by visions. The film is executive produced by Jeremy Chua’s Potocol (Singapore), Shozo Ichiyama’s Fourier Films (Japan), and Bostjan Virc’s Studio Virc (Slovenia) in association with Purple Tree Content, 108 Media, cogitoworks, Nocturne Films, Hello Group, Prism Pictures, White Light Bangkok, VS Service, and True Colour Media. At project stage, the film was winner of the SEAFIC Lab’s SEA Open Fund and TorinoFilmLab Feature Lab’s TFL Coproduction Award. The project was also mentored at the Singapore International Film Festival’s SEA Lab and Talents Tokyo. The Singapore Film Commission, Slovenian Film Centre, Purin Pictures, and Talents Tokyo Next Masters Support Program supported production. A large part of the filming took place in and around the city of Rikuzentakata in Japan, an area significantly affected by the tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011.
- L’AMOUR ET LES FORÊTS by Interchange graduate Valérie Donzelli is in post-production. Adapted by Valérie Donzelli and Audrey Diwan based upon Éric Reinhardt’s novel of the same name, the story of L’AMOUR ET LES FORÊTS revolves around Blanche. When she first crossed paths with Greg, she thought she’d found the one she’d been looking for. They quickly formed an attachment, but their relationship is marred by Greg’s quick temper. Blanche ignores her niggling doubts and distances herself from her family and twin sister, convinced that she’s reinventing herself. And little by little, she finds herself caught in the trap of a possessive and dangerous man. A man she’s too ashamed and frightened to report. Because there are only two possible exit routes from control: either the victim breaks free or they fall apart… The film is produced by Édouard Weil and Alice Girard on behalf of Rectangle Productions, in co-production with Les Films de Françoise, and has been pre-purchased by Canal+.

Obituary Vjosa Berisha
The EAVE family mourns the recent passing of Kosovar director/producer and EAVE graduate Vjosa Berisha, an extraordinary and inspiring woman who was well known in the European film industry.
Vjosa Berisha was co-owner and chief executive of B2 – PR & Media Solutions, a film and television production and public relations company established in Kosovo in 2003, with offices in Kosovo and Albania.
Vjosa Berisha was the founder of PriFilmFest festival, whose 14th edition is set to take place on July 26-30. Thanks to her initiative, and keeping its main motto, “Friendship. Forever.”, and as a gesture of support and solidarity, the Prishtina International Film Festival (PriFest) will host the Odesa International Film Festival (OIFF) in Kosovo this year.
Vjosa Berisha has worked on numerous PR and media projects and has led many successful commercial and political communication and awareness campaigns for various clients, including banks, airlines, hydropower and energy, IT, cultural institutions, embassies, government, media, political parties and other institutions in Kosovo and Albania.
One of the notable projects she led was the management and implementation of the campaigns during the process leading to Kosovo’s Declaration of Independence in 2008 which included a series of awareness campaigns. The campaigns were supported by USAID through its implementing partners, and by the Government of Kosovo.
In 2011 she participated in the Hope Fellowship programme for Democracy and Diplomacy, sponsored by USAID which included a six-week study tour to Washington DC in April and May 2011. During this trip she gave a public lecture on public diplomacy – with the theme “Nation Branding and Image of Kosovo”, at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies and in the Public Diplomacy Council in Washington DC.
Vjosa Berisha was also a member of the European Film Academy.
Her filmography as a producer and executive producer includes: a series of 10 television programmes for young people entitled "Respect", a series of 6 documentaries produced for UNICEF Kosovo, the organisation of the International Children's Day of Broadcasting (ICDB) on behalf of UNICEF, a television debate on the drafting of the Kosovar Constitution for Kosovar television.
With her incredible energy, she has inspired many, especially young women.
Our sincere condolences go out to Vjosa's family and friends.
Vjosa, we will miss you!
Call for applications: EAVE Producers Workshop 2023 - deadline August 29, 2022
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 (fiction, documentary and TV series), who are already working in the film and television industries who wish to expand their operation internationally 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. The other half come to EAVE in order to focus on developing their companies or careers. 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 60-70 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 2022 and the selection will be announced in December 2022. The 3 workshops take place in March 3-10, 2023 in Luxembourg (LU), June 11-18, 2023 in Alpbach (AT), and October 2023 in the Netherlands.
EAVE MARKETING BUDDIES PROGRAMME
The EAVE Marketing Workshop participants are joined every year by selected graduates of the renowned EAVE Producers Workshop, who have trained over one year as specialized marketing professionals.
EAVE is a residential workshop programme with a strong focus on network building. Should local travel restrictions occur, alternative digital solutions will be proposed.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: August 29, 2022
Check out www.eave.org or contact satu@eave.org for more information.

ENCOUNTER – March 18-22, 2023 in Copenhagen
The projects will pitch at CPH:FORUM and encounter the international market leading to the formulation of tailored strategies for each project.
THE PARTICIPANTS
Upcoming teams – director and producer – with a documentary project in development from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine can apply and we are committed to equal opportunity to all. We focus on projects set in these countries, projects that are open for co-production, and we welcome projects in the crossing field between documentary and journalism.
The working language is English, and participants should be comfortable with reading, writing, and speaking English.
The film project shall:
- Demonstrate to cover topics of public interest in a professional and ethical way.

On top of this, the sessions were very well thought out and I'm glad to have had the insights and professional tips from all our experts, all of them ready to share and engage with us."
