- THE REVOLUTION ACCORDING TO KAMO by Kornel Mundruczo, co-producers: EAVE graduate and Hungarian National Coordinator Viktoria Petranyi, EAVE graduates Jonas Dornbach, Beata Rzezniczek is in pre-production. Shooting for the Georgian-language film is due to start in 2025. The film’s story spans 30 years, from 1891-1922, and paints the portrait of the birth of the world’s most murderous dictator through the eyes of his best friend, ally, devoted disciple and henchman. The two grew up together in the small town of Gori, close to Tblisi – Stalin, or Soso as he was then known, in extreme poverty, and Kamo as part of a wealthy merchant family. Although Soso leaves Gori to attend a seminary, the two are reunited in their late teens in Tiflis (modern-day Tbilisi), where the charismatic Soso has become an agitator and leader in the new revolutionary movement to bring down the monarchy. Kamo is dragged alongside Soso into a world of gangland violence, murder and social upheaval. “It’s an epic movie about history, but it also sits firmly in the gangster-movie genre,” said Mundruczo. “It’s less about a man being born evil, but about the mechanics of power and how one man rises to the top. But it’s also about a passionate friendship between these two men who knew each other since they were boys.” THE REVOLUTION ACCORDING TO KAMO will be produced by UK outfit Good Chaos and France’s Hype Studios together with MK Productions (France), Komplizen Film (Germany), Madants (Poland), Proton Cinema (Hungary) and Takes Film (Georgia).

- SAVONS LES MEUBLES by Catherine Cosme, producer: EAVE graduate Julie Esparbes, co-producer: EAVE+ and PUENTES graduate Britta Rindelaub and PUENTES graduate Delphine Schmit is in production. With SAVONS LES MEUBLES, the director returns to the themes already present in her short films, namely the family and siblings. The film centres on Lucile and Paul, in their forties, who are called back home to their parents because their mother is dying. They were not aware of her illness, but also discover another secret: their mother has usurped Lucile’s identity and fallen deeply into debt. In this emergency, before their mother passes away, Lucile and Paul will have to find their way to forgiveness and save a lot more than just the furniture. The film is produced by EAVE graduate Julie Esparbes for Hélicotronc and co-produced by Swiss Alva Films and French Tripode Productions. It has received support from the Fédération Wallonie -Bruxelles (light productions fund), Be TV, the RTBF, Proximus, the Tax Shelter via Shelter Prod, the Loterie nationale, the Région Occitanie and the Office Fédéral de la Culture suisse.

- DIE ABENTEUER DER LAUSITZERIN WILMA by Maren-Kea Freese, producer: EAVE graduate Heino Deckert is in post-production. The film tells the story of Wilma, a woman in her fifties who has spent most of her life in rural Germany, in the region of Lusatia, which is known for its lignite mining and has been plagued by high rates of unemployment since the mining activities were abandoned. Wilma is one of the people who end up without a job. This sees her spiral into a crisis, after which she decides that she needs a change of scenery. She then arrives in Vienna, exploring the big city and seeking out fresh inspiration. She gains renewed energy and embarks on a new life project. DIE ABENTEUER DER LAUSITZERIN WILMA is being staged by Ma.ja.de Filmproduktion in co-production with TV channel MDR. It has been funded by the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM), the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung, DFFF and Creative Europe.

ATF x TTB Animation Lab & Pitch 2024
The leading programme for Asian-European co-productions EAVE TIES THAT BIND is very proud to renew the partnership with Asia's leading entertainment content market Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) and to announce the call for entries of its second lab tailored specifically to the needs of the animation industry.
After the successful 2023 edition, TIES THAT BIND and Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) are joining forces yet again for the ATF x TTB Animation Lab & Pitch 2024. This initiative will bring together producers with projects from Asia and Europe with the potential and desire to explore new financing and co-production opportunities, new markets, and new audiences in both continents.
This unique initiative for animation producers and projects will complement the existing EAVE TIES THAT BIND Asia-Europe co-production workshop for feature projects.
What is TTB x ATF Animation Lab?
The Animation Lab brings together selected producers with animation projects from Asia and Europe and offers an insight into the animation markets, financing and co-production possibilities in both continents.
Two intensive online prep sessions in autumn followed by an onsite lab and other onsite activities with renowned industry decision-makers in December. The aim of the training is to prepare the participants for the market launch and pitch of their projects, which will take place at the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) in Singapore in December.
Target Group
We will select 8—10 selected animation projects (4—5 each from APAC Asia-Pacific countries and Europe). Accepted formats include feature-length animated films, as well as TV formats (series or mini-series) and short films in development or financing stage. Preference will be given to projects with great creative potential, exciting visuals, interest and potential for co-production, and potential for travel across borders and continents. The program is not open to pre-school content. Preference will be given to animated films for youth, families and adults.
3 Sessions

The main objectives of the first online module are:
- Get an insight into funding opportunities between Europe and Asia
- Receive feedback on your financing plans and strategies
2) 2-days online prep session by experts will take place November 18 – 19, 2024 online
The main objectives of the second online module are:
- Understand how to prepare and structure a package for the international market
- Refine the preparation and delivery of a quality pitch
3) In-person lab @ATF will take place December 3—6, 2024 in Singapore.
The main objectives of the on-site presence at the ATF market in Singapore are:
- Participate in lab sessions by key decision makers
- Networking with fellow attendees

- Join in the curated matchmaking session with Asian / European experts / decision-makers
Condition of participation
The deadline is August 20th, 2024.
There is no submission or participation fee.
All selected participants should cover their travel and accommodation to Singapore during the ATF market.
Talks are ongoing with European and Asian national/regional funds and promotion agencies in order to fully cover the costs of the participants from the respective countries/regions. Please contact us for further information.
In addition, a limited number of partial travel & accommodation scholarships are available in priority for applicants from countries/regions not providing any scholarships for this kind of activities or participants in any other proven situation of need for financial support.
Selected projects will receive up to 2 all-access passes to ATF.
The selection will be made by a selection committee and will be announced by late September.
Selection procedure
We aim to be transparent and unbiased in our selection process. EAVE TTB is keen to ensure the widest possible participation in our programmes and has a strong focus on securing as diverse a selection of people and projects as possible. Diversity is viewed as a primary focus, not only with regards to nationality, geographic spread, race, age and gender, but also type of projects, experience and background. Our experience is, that the richer the pool of people and projects, the richer the overall experience of the participants and the more dynamic the group, the mutual learning exchange and inspiration.
ATFxTTB Animation Lab & Pitch is open to applicants from all over Europe*, i.e. all countries eligible for Creative Europe - MEDIA support and from the APAC countries in Asia*.
The selected participants need to be animation producers in their respective countries and continents, possessing a solid understanding of development, funding and distribution systems within their own territories and regions. They should aspire to work on an international scale and to create long-term relationships between Europe and Asia.
Producers are required to submit a project for consideration. Projects should be short film, feature films or TV formats (series or mini-series) at development or financing stage.
The selection is based on the assessment of the applicants’ and their company’s track record and the level of professional background and suitability of the project for the lab.
The selection committee also takes into account the following two criteria:
- the extent to which the applicant will benefit from her/his experience at ATFxTTB;
- the extent to which the applicant’s presence will be beneficial to the rest of the group/the other participants.
The selection committee is made by approx. 3 professionals coming from Europe and 3 professionals coming from Asia. The selection is made in cooperation with CEE Animation Workshop.

Professional Development Opportunity for African Film Producers at the 4th Creative Producers’ Indaba
The Creative Producers’ Indaba (CPI), the highly successful film-producer professional development fellowship hosted by the Cape Town-based Realness Institute, in collaboration with EAVE, the International Film Festival Rotterdam's IFFR Pro, and the Marrakech International Film Festival's Atlas Workshops, has announced that submissions are now open for its fourth edition.
The CPI comprises three workshop modules over six months, combining in-person and online sessions. These workshops aim to equip participants with practical tools to enhance their film production management skills, develop essential leadership skills, and gain the capacity to operate sustainable businesses at a strategic level.
The fellowship is led by programme director Elias Ribeiro and group leaders Diana Elbaum, and Mehret Mandefro in addition to story expert Tracey Lee Rainers and marketing expert Constanza Arena. The selected cohort will have the opportunity to engage with seasoned professionals—including active, successful producers, lawyers, finance experts, and sales experts who will share their diverse perspectives and professional experiences through case studies, roundtables, and work sessions.
Forty-five producers from 18 countries have been through the fellowship with many success stories since its inception in 2021. Producer Bartolomeu Luiz (Brazil) who attended last year’s CPI said that his participation yielded concrete results, including securing a co-production with a Canadian partner he met in Rotterdam, with further funding prospects awaiting announcements in Brazil. “The workshop has truly been a catalyst for profound personal and professional growth.”
Fifteen film professionals from Africa and international producers interested in producing in Africa will be selected: five creative producers from Africa with audiovisual projects in development; five international producers without projects and five African film professionals from international sales, funding, festivals, markets, or an institutional background interested in working across continents.
“Recognizing the vital role of the film industry in social and macroeconomic development, we aim to develop these producers into key influencers who can shape favourable policies and financial infrastructures essential for the growth of Africa’s film industry,” says Mehret Mandefro, Director of Development and Partnership at the Realness Institute. “We also aim to foster collaboration between Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, facilitating the exchange of ideas and promoting international co-productions.”
"It fills me with so much joy to see Creative Producers’ Indaba go into its 4th edition and that EAVE was able to inspire the programme and contribute since its inception,” says Kristina Trapp, CEO at EAVE. “Seeing the latest success stories of the Indaba alumni at A-list festivals and in the creation of networks on the continent is a strong sign of the impact of the programme.”
“We remain motivated and enthusiastic about being part of Indaba once more,” says Facundo Lema , Talent Manager IFFR PRO. “This programme not only enhances producers' skills and solidifies their creative methods for projects and sustainable careers, but it also fosters deep connections, which benefit both individual paths and the industry as a whole.”
"We are part of one and the same community of cinema storytellers,” says Hédi Zardi, Head of the Atlas Workshops. “It is always important and exciting to build bridges within the continent to enable people to have dialogue, get to know each other, share expertise and think of future creations together. We are delighted to develop this collaboration and empower talents.”
Brazilian foundation Projecto Paradiso, Canada Media Fund, Swiss Audiovisual Training Organisation Focal and the Austrian Film Fund each have one spot specifically reserved for a producer in their country wanting to co-produce an African project, further enhancing cross-cultural collaboration.
Creative Producers Indaba participants will attend the Atlas Ateliers during the Marrakech International Film Festival in November 2024 and sessions at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January 2025 followed by online sessions to close the circle of their projects.
Mehret Mandefro and Diana Elbaum, will provide the cohort with invaluable mentorship and guidance through the process. Guest speakers who will generously share their expertise, insights, and guidance include Constanza Arena founder of the talent promotion and representation agency LA LUZ (Chile), Sata Cissokho, who is charge of acquisitions at the Paris-based sales agent Memento International, Tracey Lee Rainers an international story practitioner and independent creative executive who spearheads story development company Story Oasis (SA) and Isioma Idigbe who heads media and entertainment practice group at PUNUKA Attorneys & Solicitors (Nigeria).
Applicants must meet specific requirements, such as having produced at least one feature fiction, series, or documentary film, or a minimum of two short films as a lead or co-producer. Film professionals should possess a minimum of four years of professional experience.
The deadline for submissions is 15 July at 12:00 Central African Time.

Best Practices for Equitable Co-Productions - EAVE Think Tank report and panel discussion
Dear EAVE Producers,
We are thrilled to share our recently released report, "Inclusive Co-Productions" unveiled at the Cannes' Marché du Film, as part of its impACT and Co-Production Day programs. Based on recommendations from the January 2024 EAVE Impact Think Tank at When East Meets West, this report equips industry professionals with valuable insights for fostering inclusive collaborations in the screen sector.
Our report is divided into two main sections:
- Actionable Strategies for Producers: This section offers practical recommendations tailored to producers, providing strategies for navigating collaborations with integrity and innovation.
- Recommendations for Decision Makers: Here, you will find recommendations for funding agencies and film institutions to promote inclusivity in co-productions. From evaluating current policies to applying critical thinking to decision-making, these strategies aim to future-proof our industries and foster more collaborative frameworks.
In a rapidly evolving industry, understanding and implementing inclusive co-production practices are more relevant than ever to offer stability and growth in our sector. We believe this report will provide you with the necessary tools and knowledge to apply to your own practices.
"Right now, we’re seeing a global demand for more diverse stories on film. When we work to bring these stories to the screen, it’s crucial that we don’t end up colonizing the stories, or the talents and cultures they belong to. With the report on inclusive co-production, we have looked for ways to empower rather than exploit new voices. If we can make diverse storytelling sustainable, we will all benefit from it not only now, but also in the long run."
Emile Hertling Péronard, Ánorâk Film Denmark
You can watch the panel discussion about the report here, which was recorded during the Marché du Film, impACT x Co-Production Day:
We look forward to hearing your feedback and learning how this report influences your approach to co-productions.
