Kicking off today: Inclusive Production Practices in partnership with the Slovenian Film Centre!

The Slovenian Film Centre and EAVE are organising a full-day workshop on Inclusive Production Practice on 15 October, from 10:00 to 18:00, at the Grand Hotel Portorož in Portorož, Slovenia.

The workshop is primarily aimed at film and audiovisual producers and other film professionals interested in learning how to incorporate principles of equality, inclusion and other ethical practices into production processes.

The workshop is led by two well-known EAVE experts, the newly appointed Co-Heads of Studies of the EAVE Producers Workshops: Ethiopian-Canadian producer Tamara Dawit, and French producer Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine.

The programme is divided into three masterclasses: Power Positions and Dynamics in Production, Development Through an Inclusion Lens, and Inclusive Production Practices.

Equitable Coproduction Programme with EAVE Experts kicking off today in Durban!

EAVE has designed a new Equitable Coproduction programme for the 2026 edition of Durban FilmMart (DFM). Delivered through EAVE on Demand, it brings four leading EAVE experts to South Africa to help producers build coproductions that are fair, transparent and sustainable for all partners involved.

The programme runs from 9 to 12 October at the 17th DFM in Durban, under the theme “Shifting Worlds: Turning Towards Ourselves,” and combines four masterclasses and a clinic.

Masterclasses on Equitable Coproduction

Each masterclass is led by two experts, and pairs best-practice techniques with case studies from the expert's own production experience and covers a full lifecycle, from development to delivery: 

  • Inclusive Co-Productions, with Tamara Dawit and Linda Mutawi. Creative equity, financial fairness, shared IP ownership and revenue participation, negotiating fair terms and drafting inclusive contracts.
  • Developing with an Inclusive Lens, with Amil Shivji and May Odeh. Care-based development frameworks, collaborative story design and consent-driven research.
  • Inclusive Financing & Budgeting, with Tamara Dawit and Amil Shivji. Fair compensation, shared ownership, community benefit and navigating currency imbalances in international coproductions.
  • Inclusive Production Practices, with Linda Mutawi and May Odeh. Inclusive hiring, cross-cultural crew coordination, ethical casting, safer set protocols, culturally sensitive scheduling, and workflows that prioritise access, consent and psychological safety.

Equitable Coproduction Clinic

Some challenges are specific to a single project and can’t be fully covered in a masterclass. Equitable Coproduction Clinic gives delegates the opportunity to discuss their own project in one-on-one sessions with the EAVE experts.

EAVE and Ecoprod present: Webinar Green Storytelling

In partnership with EAVE, StepUP invites you to take part in the webinar "Green Storytelling: practical tools for writers and producers"

When: 12/10/2026 at 4:00 - 5:30 pm CEST

Free Registration via the link

Stories shape how we see the world. This webinar "Green Storytelling: practical tools for writers and producers" explores how climate and environmental themes can find their way into your narratives without compromising creativity or audience engagement. 

Together, we'll ask why climate deserves a place in our stories and look at the many ways to weave environmental themes into a plot, a setting, or a character's journey. Our international panelists will share concrete techniques to avoid the usual clichés and greenwashing tropes, examine what impact a film or series can realistically have on an audience, and discuss how to make sustainability on screen genuinely inclusive and accessible. You'll leave with practical tools to tell stories that matter and that resonate. 

Panelists: 

  • Lucie Trémolières, writer, sustainable storytelling consultant, and trainer 
  • Piia Puntola, sustainability consultant, producer, screenwriter, and story editor 
  • Micah Magee, filmmaker and trainer 
  • Owoyemi Michael, filmmaker and cofounder of African Climate Stories 

Moderation by Alissa Aubenque, Ecoprod 

StepUP is the international e-learning platform for green film and TV production, a Eurimages initiative developed by Ecoprod, with practical courses for film and TV professionals.

EAVE session: DIALOGUES – Holding the Center: Producing Under Pressure

September 13, 2026

Independent producers are the creative, financial, and emotional backbone of the screen industry, yet their own wellbeing is rarely addressed. Drawing on the findings of the EAVE Impact Think Tank 2026 Report, Producers in Focus: Mental Health, Resilience, and Support, this conversation explores the unseen pressures producers carry and shares practical strategies for care, resilience, and sustainable practice. Together, the panel will examine how producers and the wider screen sector can share responsibility for creating a healthier production culture.

Speakers: Marina Serrão, lori lozinski, EAVE participant Sara Beate Nilsdatter Eira

Moderated by EAVE consultant Tamara Dawit

CHANGE Co-Production Training Programme: Selection Announcement for 2026/2027

CPH:DOX, EAVE, IMS, The Documentary Film Association of Ukraine and Docudays UA are proud to announce the sixth round of the CHANGE programme, empowering documentary film projects from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. For the 2026/2027 edition, eight teams will join the co-production training workshop series.

CHANGE is a collaboration between CPH:DOX, the world’s leading documentary film festival supporting independent and innovative filmmaking, EAVE, one of Europe’s leading training, development, and networking organisations for producers, IMS (International Media Support), a non-profit organisation working to promote journalism and documentary film to reduce conflict, strengthen democracy and facilitate dialogue. For the first time, the programme is also carried out in partnership with Docudays UA and The Documentary Film Association of Ukraine.  

The CHANGE programme seeks to increase equality and access in the international film market by fostering inter-regional co-productions. It connects filmmakers, producers, and projects from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries with global film professionals at CPH:DOX, creating opportunities for collaboration and elevating diverse voices on the international stage.

The programme aims to improve the participants’ skills in refining their projects’ content, core themes and goals. It also focuses on strengthening their abilities in regional and international collaboration and co-production, and navigating the financing structures and the production environment. By the end of the programme, participants are ready to encounter the international market and present their projects on a global platform during CPH:DOX 2027.

The selected projects in the sixth round explore compelling new stories from the region, ranging from large-scale political narratives to intimate and personal stories. The projects offer nuanced perspectives and diverse artistic approaches, showcasing the talent of this new cohort of filmmakers who are confronting some of the most pressing challenges of our time with creativity and courage. 

The CHANGE co-production training course will begin in Chisinau, Moldova in November 2026 and will combine masterclasses and group work sessions, as well as individual meetings for the eight selected producer-director teams. The same participants will continue to work together in the second workshop in January 2027, again in Chisinau, Moldova. The programme will culminate in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2027 with a third workshop and the presentation of the projects to the international industry as part of CPH:FORUM during CPH:DOX.*

The selected projects are:

  • “437” Black Work White Gloves, prod. Naira Sargsyan, dir. Harutyun Melkonyan, Armenia

THE PARTNERSHIP BEHIND CHANGE

CHANGE is initiated and funded by IMS through the New Democracy Fund.

IMS is a non-profit organisation working to promote journalism and documentary film to strengthen the capacity of media to reduce conflict, strengthen democracy and facilitate dialogue. Our work is geared towards helping locally-based public interest media operating in armed conflicts, humanitarian crises and rapid political change, both positive and negative, to provide the public and civic organisations with public interest content they can trust and use. We work in more than 40 countries across four continents with a staff of about 170 people.

EAVE is a professional training, project development and networking organisation for audiovisual producers. Founded in 1988, our objectives are to provide professional training opportunities and to bring producers from different regions of the world together with the aim of facilitating co-production relationships. We believe that the support of independent voices, creative imagination and culturally driven companies within the global media industries is an urgent necessity in the 21st century. Through our work we aim to contribute towards the creation of strong networks of producers and to encourage the exchange of knowledge and skills which will strengthen independent production across the world.

CPH:DOX, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, is a world leading documentary film festival supporting independent and innovative filmmaking and presenting the best and brightest in contemporary non-fiction film. The festival is known and widely respected for radically changing the documentary landscape with a focus on challenging the genre with cross over to other art forms, and for advancing art as an active voice in civil society. Annually presenting approx. 200 films, the annual festival’s audience has grown to more than 150.000, and our industry platform, championing high-end cinematic and hybrid filmmaking welcomes annually nearly 2,000 industry professionals from a wide variety of sectors across creative documentary, hybrid non-fiction, visual arts, journalism and science. CPH:INDUSTRY includes a pitch platform CPH:FORUM, CPH:MARKET services for finished films, a talent development programme for immersive media CPH:LAB, and a programme for emerging filmmakers INTRO:DOX.

Docudays UA is Ukraine’s premier annual human rights documentary film festival. Based in Kyiv, the festival features competitive and non-competitive film programs, an interdisciplinary art showcase, panel discussions, workshops, and a dedicated industry platform. Following the main week in Kyiv, Docudays UA brings its top films to various Ukrainian regions via a traveling festival from October through December. The 23rd edition of Docudays UA took place from June 5–12, 2026, drawing at least 26,000 attendees and reaching over 3 million people through its media campaign. Following the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Docudays UA has expanded its scope to focus extensively on cultural diplomacy. This direction centers on promoting Ukrainian culture, spreading the truth about the Russian war against Ukraine, and advocating decolonial practices within Ukrainian and Eastern European cinema. 

The Documentary Film Association of Ukraine is an open professional association of creators working with audiovisual art based on documentary material. It brings together more than 70 members from the Ukrainian documentary film community. The Association strengthens the professional agency of Ukrainian documentary filmmakers, represents the industry internationally, contributes to cultural policy, and builds cooperation with public institutions. Its work is guided by responsibility, professionalism, transparency, ethics, community-building, and a human-centered approach.

Promotional partners for the CHANGE call are Golden Apricot and ArmDoc (Armenia), DokuBaku (Azerbaijan), Northern Lights (Belarus), DOCA (Georgia), Moldox (Moldova).

*IMS is currently funding CHANGE through the New Democracy Fund, which ends in 2026. IMS expects to confirm the underlying programme framework for 2027 later in 2026. Workshop 1 is confirmed. Workshops 2 and 3 are planned and expected to take place, subject to that confirmation.

EAVE is organising in partnership with the Royal Film Commission - Jordan an immersive EAVE on Demand workshop for Arab producers and directors working on their first or second narrative feature films: the Arab Producers Lab (APL).

The objective is to improve the participants’ skills in international co-production film finance and management, project and script development, as well as sales and distribution, and to confront them with the reality of the international market, also taking into account the local current reality and providing them with the necessary skills in order to succeed on a highly competitive international market.

The Lab (September 21–27, 2026, in Aqaba, Jordan) focuses on strengthening the skills of producers by enabling them to understand and contribute to the entire creative production process. During the lab’s six intensive days, the producers and directors will experience training sessions through the film they are working on. The sessions will include one-on-one and group sessions with internationally acclaimed experts focusing on packaging, financing, co-production, script development, legal issues, as well as international markets and sales.

The tutors of the workshop include May Odeh (Odeh Films/Mayana Films, PS/DE), Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine (The CoPro Agency, FR), Nayeem Mahbub (Kahini, SE/BD) and Hédi Zardi (FR).

The workshop includes 6 participating producer-writer/director teams with feature narrative projects, aiming to equip Arab producers with the necessary skills to engage in the creative production process actively, prioritizing talent identification, script development, and project advancement. The Lab provides comprehensive insights into MENA, European, and global markets, aiding producers in audience identification, product packaging, partnership building, and securing production and distribution financing.

Additionally, it offers insight into financial and corporate development, underlining the importance of long-term viability for competitiveness. The Lab fosters cooperation, co-financing, and co-production among Arab producers as crucial strategies for success in a competitive landscape. It also creates opportunities for Arab producers to collaborate with industry leaders, expanding networks, improving quality, and increasing production feasibility. Furthermore, The Lab enhances understanding of rapid changes in media industries, including shifts in distribution, exhibition, and emerging market opportunities such as video on demand (VOD) and digital distribution. Ultimately, the Lab aims to empower Arab producers to establish unique industry voices and contribute to its evolution.

The six selected projects from Sudan, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia are:

  • ABOUT LOVE & SEPTEMBER LAWS by Mohamed Kordofani, co-written by Khaled Alwaledd, producer: Khalid Awad
  • AL-MADEENEH 2008 by Yousef Assabahi, producer: Ala'a Amer

Together, the panel will examine how producers and the wider screen sector can share responsibility for creating a healthier production culture.

Inclusive Production Practices in partnership with BFI kicking off today!

EAVE on Demand tailor-made workshop for a group of participants selected by BFI

September 1 - 2, 2026, online

EAVE is organising, in partnership with the British Film Institute, an EAVE on Demand workshop on inclusive production practices and inclusive co-productions.

The following sessions will be presented during the 2-day workshop:

Inclusive Co-Productions 

with EAVE expert Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine 

This session explores how to build co-productions that uphold creative equity, financial fairness, and shared IP ownership and revenue participation — particularly when working across regions or countries with differing resources or systemic advantages. Participants will examine strategies for negotiating fair terms, drafting inclusive contracts, and navigating legal frameworks that support respectful collaboration, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Emphasis is placed on building co-productions as equitable partnerships, not just financing arrangements. 

Inclusive Production Practices 

with EAVE expert Heejung Oh 

This session offers practical tips for managing productions across diverse cultural and geographic contexts. It covers inclusive hiring, cross-cultural crew coordination, and ethical casting. Participants will explore safer set protocols, power-sharing approaches, culturally sensitive scheduling and inclusive catering practices. The session also addresses production and post-production workflows that prioritise access, consent, and psychological safety.

Final Call: EAVE AI SKILLS BOOSTER 2026

Go beyond the AI hype and discover what AI can really do for your work. Register HERE by Friday, August 21st.

EAVE’s annual online workshop brings together leading experts in script development, production, post-production, marketing, as well as on legal, ethical and ecological aspects of AI to provide a comprehensive view of the latest AI tools and approaches shaping the audiovisual industry. The workshop combines practical demonstrations, case studies, hands-on exercises and interactive Q&A sessions with speakers and fellow participants.

Participants will work with LLMs for script development, explore AI-supported production, post-production workflows and toolkits, and examine different approaches to using AI in film marketing, from AI as a thinking partner to more autonomous and agentic systems. The programme will also address AI biases and limitations, as well as the legal frameworks and ecological implications surrounding AI, providing both practical tools and a critical framework for understanding where and how AI can add value across the audiovisual sector.

The module is moderated and devised by EAVE expert PETRI KEMPPINEN of Good Hand Production, Finland.

Who is it for?

Whether you are new to the subject or already implementing AI into your daily work, this workshop is crafted to equip you with the very latest insights and expert discussions on the evolving role and integration of AI across the audiovisual industry. Focusing on industry-specific applications, participants will gain skills and develop a deeper understanding of AI tools that can be directly integrated into their professional practice, while remaining mindful of its ethical, legal, creative and environmental implications. 

“The session was the most informative AI session I've come across and felt it was overall a realistic and level-headed approach to AI purpose and application” - Martina Silcock, Happy Outlier Pictures, USA

“I was experiencing a lot of anxiety around AI, especially from an IP and physical production standpoint. This workshop grew my confidence and skills and helped me formulate my personal boundaries around the use of AI.” - Cait Pansegrouw, Cadence, South Africa

When and where?

The workshop will take place over 3 half days from September 29th to October 1st (14.30 - 18.00 CET every day) on Zoom*.

*The workshop will not be recorded, so your participation during the workshop hours is required. Only those participants who have paid their registration fee will be admitted to the Zoom.

Extended deadline: EAVE Producers Workshop 2027

EAVE, European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs, is one of the leading training and development providers for producers in Europe, renowned for its EAVE Producers Workshop.

DEADLINE EXTENDED! You have one more week to apply to the most prestigious training event for producers!

Apply by August 24th!

 

 Who is it for?

EAVE is aimed at producers (fiction, documentary and TV series), who are already working in the film and television industries, and who wish to expand their operation internationally by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and by building up an international 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 56 participants are selected from most of the EU countries and beyond and take part in three one-week long workshops.

Please check the section “Applicant Profile” for more detailed information.

 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 teams 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, some 50 Future Partners (commissioning editors, national and regional media funds, financiers, 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 Key Industry Players. 

EAVE graduates join a unique network of active European and international 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. 

“The EAVE Producers Workshop allowed me to see and structure my company in a much clearer and more strategic way, moving from a project-by-project management approach to a short, medium and long-term business plan. On a practical level, I also closed a co-production for one of my projects with a colleague from my group.”

Leonardo Mecchi, Enquadramento Produções, Brazil / EAVE Producers Workshop 2025

 

 Timeline

The interviews with a pre-selection of candidates will take place in autumn 2026 and the selection will be announced in December 2026.

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 films, 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 process will be carried out in 2 phases:

  • In the first phase, the selection committee will evaluate each of the applications received. They will separately assess their evaluation according to structured criteria in order to create a shortlist of projects.
  • The final selection is conducted by the ATFxTTB Coordinator and the ATFxTTB Curator: in a joint call they will review and discuss the shortlisted projects to shape the final group of participants.

The final selection decision is commented upon and approved by the EAVE and FVG board.

The final decision will be taken 1 month before the session, after which participants will be notified and required to confirm their attendance within one week.

Europa Distribution is the international association of independent film publishers and distributors with more than 130 members from Europe and beyond, that acts as a network and think tank to foster the circulation of independent films through the sharing of knowledge, best practices and ideas among its members.

On Sunday, September 6, 16-19:00, Europa Distribution will organise the fourth edition of their working session for producers and distributors within the scope of the Venice Production Bridge, in collaboration with ACE Producers, EAVE and the European Producers Club.

The aim is to connect independent film producers and distributors to streamline the workflow from creation to audiences.

Thirty distributors, members of Europa Distribution, alongside thirty producers, members of EPC, ACE Producers, and alumni of EAVE, will take part in the brainstorming session to discuss shared interests and challenges spanning the entire lifecycle of a film.

THE PARTNERSHIP BEHIND CHANGE

CHANGE is initiated and funded by IMS through the New Democracy Fund.

EAVE is a professional training, project development and networking organization for audiovisual producers. Founded in 1988, our objectives are to provide professional training opportunities and to bring producers from different regions of the world together with the aim of facilitating co-production relationships. We believe that the support of independent voices, creative imagination and culturally driven companies within the global media industries is an urgent necessity in the 21st century. Through our work we aim to contribute towards the creation of strong networks of producers and to encourage the exchange of knowledge and skills which will strengthen independent production across the world.

CPH:DOX, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, is one of the biggest documentary film festivals in the world. A festival that continues to develop and expand, presenting a program that ranges from the works of major international directors to new talents, from large-scale theatrical releases to film/video works in the field between cinema and visual art. The festival’s platform for professionals, CPH:INDUSTRY, attracting 2.000+ professional delegates annually, has established itself as a fundamental European documentary marketplace, offering a wide range of activities and services connecting independent documentary film producers and filmmakers with the major international funds, broadcasters, streaming platforms, sales agents, as well as art curators, science foundations, impact bodies, traditional and alternative exhibitors, investors and philanthropists in the fields related to cinema – and beyond.

IMS, International Media Support, is promoting journalism and documentary film to strengthen the capacity of media to reduce conflict, strengthen democracy and facilitate dialogue. Our work is geared towards helping locally-based public interest media operating in armed conflicts, humanitarian crises and rapid political change, both positive and negative, to provide the public and “civic organizations” with public interest content they can trust and use. We work in more than 40 countries across four continents with a staff of about 150 people.

Docudays UA is Ukraine’s premier annual human rights documentary film festival. Based in Kyiv, the festival features competitive and non-competitive film programs, an interdisciplinary art showcase, panel discussions, workshops, and a dedicated industry platform. Following the main week in Kyiv, Docudays UA brings its top films to various Ukrainian regions via a traveling festival from October through December. The 23rd edition of Docudays UA took place from June 5–12, 2026, drawing at least 26,000 attendees and reaching over 3 million people through its media campaign. Following the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Docudays UA has expanded its scope to focus extensively on cultural diplomacy. This direction centers on promoting Ukrainian culture, spreading the truth about the Russian war against Ukraine, and advocating decolonial practices within Ukrainian and Eastern European cinema. 

The Documentary Film Association of Ukraine is an open professional association of creators working with audiovisual art based on documentary material. It brings together more than 70 members from the Ukrainian documentary film community. The Association strengthens the professional agency of Ukrainian documentary filmmakers, represents the industry internationally, contributes to cultural policy, and builds cooperation with public institutions. Its work is guided by responsibility, professionalism, transparency, ethics, community-building, and a human-centered approach.

SØRFOND - NORWEGIAN SOUTH FILM FUND

  • ACCESS project MADNESS AND HONEY DAYS by Ahmed Yassin Al-Darraji, producer: ACCESS graduate  Maytham Jbara was supported with 500 000 NOK. The Jury stated:

“There is something rotten in the state of Denmark” is the key line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Applied to Iraq under President Saddam Hussein, one truly can say the same. When the protagonist and theatre actor in Madness and Honey Days accidentally offend the tyrant in public, certain death or detention in a psychiatric ward as insane are the only options. The jury is impressed by the creative script, depicting a protagonist who completely dives into the role of Hamlet in a psychiatric ward to stay alive. It gives a surprising, and at times both hilarious and bleak, perspective on how to survive under a regime where all missteps are punished with no mercy. The script moves between the morbid and the laughable, and gives an inventive take on where the madness actually is confined in a society governed by a brutal dictatorship. To use a cultural icon like Shakespeare in this plot gives the film a universal dimension, while the Iraqi director uses his artistic capabilities in an impressive way to scrutinise the history of his home country.

EAVE announces new Heads of Studies for the prestigious EAVE PRODUCERS WORKSHOP

EAVE, European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs, is proud to announce that Tamara Dawit and Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine are joining as the new co-Heads of Studies of the well-known EAVE Producers Workshop, starting from the new 2027 cycle.

They take over from Oscar-nominated producer Lise Lense‑Møller, whose nearly three decades as Group Leader and eight years as Head of Studies have been instrumental in shaping the programme into one of Europe’s leading training initiatives for producers and industry professionals. 

A New Chapter for a Landmark Programme

This leadership transition comes at a moment of continued success for EAVE. 

"I am incredibly grateful to Lise for the many years of her invaluable contribution in shaping and developing the EAVE Producers Workshop. Working with Lise has been a daily source of inspiration for me. I am thrilled to welcome Jennifer and Tamara in their new roles - both are not strangers to EAVE and have also been contributing as consultants for several years now. 

We will continue our mission of empowering producers also in the future, delivering professional excellence, resilience, and adaptability through high-level 360 training, where professionals can hone their professional and personal skills and competencies while also getting insights into different approaches, solutions, and cutting-edge innovation." – says EAVE CEO Kristina Trapp.

Lise Lense-Møller, who has guided the programme with dedication, intelligence and expertise, reflects on her role and the transition:

“In parallel with producing, EAVE has been a big part of my work life and a source of constant inspiration, professionally and personally. On all levels, EAVE is by far the best 'workplace' and the best team I have ever experienced: brain, heart, professionalism, efficiency, and achievement-wise. Despite an incredible workload with upwards of 37 workshops every year, they are always ready to listen, adapt, and improve, and they always do it with a friendly, no-bullshit, and solution-oriented approach. I simply have never experienced anything close to this anywhere else, and it has been an immense privilege to be part of.

This is also true for the many meetings with talented and dedicated participants and experts, who each bring their unique experience and insight to the table. The profound and generous interpersonal and professional sharing, which has become such a hallmark feature of the EAVE experience, helps people grow and find their voice and place in a challenging industry, which they, in turn, then help shape.

Though sometimes exhausting (as very intense schedules are another EAVE hallmark), it has been deeply gratifying and motivating to be with EAVE for all those years. I, too,  have learned a lot, but it is time to hand over the baton.  I am very happy that Tamara Dawit and Jennifer Sabbah-Imagine, who are already treasured members of the EAVE family have agreed to take on the Head of Studies role, and I look forward to seeing the impact they will have on the EAVE Producers Workshop.  I know they have a lot to offer future participants and the organisation, and I wish that they, just like I have, will find the experience to be a source of endless inspiration.” 

Tamara Dawit is an Ethiopian, Eritrean, Ukrainian, and Canadian producer, creative sector policy advisor, and founder of Gobez Media. An EAVE alumna, Tamara Dawit, has served as Head of Studies for EAVE’s ACCESS BIPOC programme in Canada, the Sámi Producers Lab, Inclusive Production Practices On Demand, and EAVE’s Impact Think Tank. Outside of producing, she has held leadership roles at FACTOR and the Canada Media Fund, supporting the development of creative sector policy.

“Joining Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine as co-Head of Studies is both exciting and humbling, particularly following the remarkable leadership of Lise Lense-Møller, whose impact on generations of producers is immeasurable. I look forward to working with the EAVE community to support producers as they navigate a rapidly evolving industry and bring bold, ambitious stories to audiences around the world.”

Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine is the founder of The Copro Agency, a consultancy specialising in structuring international co-productions. She has worked as Line Producer, Head of Development & International, Business Affairs and Producer at Big Sister. An EAVE alumna, she has served as a finance expert for the Producers Workshop, as group leader for EAVE’s CHANGE programme and the Arab Producers Lab and is one of the mentors of Inclusive Production Practices On Demand. She also serves as a consultant and advisor for co-production markets, institutions and production companies.

“Taking on this role with Tamara Dawit and alongside the EAVE Team is both moving and a great honour. As a former graduate in Lise Lense-Møller’s group, it is especially meaningful to contribute to a programme that has long shaped the values, ethics, and practices of our profession, while carrying the responsibility of empowering producers who will define the future of our industry and bring their visions to the world.”

The EAVE Producers Workshop is a year-long, residential training programme that brings together over 50 producers from across Europe and beyond for three intensive one-week workshops each year. 

EAVE graduates become part of a unique and active network of more than 3,000 European and international producers that forms one of the pillars of the independent film industry. At the recent Cannes Film Festival, for example, 40 films by EAVE producers were selected, and 15 awards went to the EAVE community, including the Palme d’Or for FJORD (producers Dyveke Bjørkly Graver, Andrea Berentsen Ottmar; co-producers Katrin Pors, Jussi Rantamäki), Best Director for FATHERLAND (producer: Lorenzo Gangarossa), the Jury Prize for THE DREAMED ADVENTURE (producer: Jonas Dornbach) and the Caméra d'Or for BEN’IMANA (producer: Samantha Biffot, co-producer: Ingrid Lill Høgtun).

EAVE's Enduring Mission

Since its founding, EAVE is committed to upskilling producers and providing them with professional tools and competencies as well as insights into cutting-edge innovation. In doing so, EAVE is building a diverse international community of producers, embracing a wide range of nationalities, career stages, company set-ups, and perspectives. The organisation actively supports gender balance, equity and inclusion, and the participation of producers from emerging film industries, in the firm belief that diversity in the room enriches the training experience. EAVE also places producer care and work-life balance at the heart of its values, recognising that sustainable careers are built on wellbeing as much as expertise. In parallel, EAVE is committed to the green transition, encouraging environmentally responsible practices across the audiovisual industry. 

The EAVE Producers Workshop is co-funded by the Creative Europe MEDIA sub-programme of the European Union, the Film Fund Luxembourg, and a range of national and international partners.

EAVE Producers Workshop 2027 now open for applications!

EAVE, European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs, is one of the leading training and development providers for producers in Europe, renowned for its EAVE Producers Workshop.

Apply by August 17th to the most prestigious training event for producers!

 

 Who is it for?

EAVE is aimed at producers (fiction, documentary and TV series), who are already working in the film and television industries, and who wish to expand their operation internationally by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and by building up an international 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 56 participants are selected from most of the EU countries and beyond and take part in three one-week long workshops.

Please check the section “Applicant Profile” for more detailed information.

 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 teams 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, some 50 Future Partners (commissioning editors, national and regional media funds, financiers, 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 Key Industry Players. 

EAVE graduates join a unique network of active European and international 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. 

“The EAVE Producers Workshop allowed me to see and structure my company in a much clearer and more strategic way, moving from a project-by-project management approach to a short, medium and long-term business plan. On a practical level, I also closed a co-production for one of my projects with a colleague from my group.”

Leonardo Mecchi, Enquadramento Produções, Brazil / EAVE Producers Workshop 2025

Final deadline: EAVE INCLUSIVE PRODUCTION PRACTICES 2026

A new EAVE Booster workshop designed for audiovisual producers and interested film professionals seeking to embed equity, inclusion, and ethical practices across the full production lifecycle, from development to distribution.

Online, September 7 - 10, 2026

Based on the EAVE Impact Think Tank 2025 report, this hands-on session will give actionable strategies on how to make productions & co-productions more equitable, inclusive and transparent. Gain practical tools to build productions grounded in shared ownership, balanced power, and sustainable cross-border partnerships. Explore collaborative approaches to project design, inclusive budgeting, and fair contracting.

Through top-tier experts on development, production, post-production, and distribution, the workshop aims to give a comprehensive view on the best practices to adopt with real-life examples. 

FINAL DEADLINE TO REGISTER: JULY 5, 2026

When and where?

The workshop will take place over 4 half days from September 7th to 10th (14.30 - 18.00 CEST every day) on Zoom*.

*The workshop will not be available for replay, so your participation during the workshop hours is required. Only those participants who have paid their registration fee will be admitted to the Zoom.

For whom?

Whether you are an emerging producer or an established player in international coproductions, this workshop is designed to equip you with frameworks and tools to address inclusive production practices at the various production stages: from tackling power dynamics in contracting (e.g. between higher and lower capacity countries) to making sure all stakeholders in the story you are bringing to life have their voices heard.

“Producers can help reshape the global production landscape into a more just and representative space by centring on cultural authenticity, financial fairness, and ethical industry practices.” 
— extract from the Conclusion of the 2025 EAVE Impact Think Tank report

Workshop Programme

The module is led and devised by EAVE expert Tamara Dawit of Gobez Media, Ethiopia & Canada.

Sessions

​​Positionality & Power in Producing

A self-reflective session exploring how identity, privilege, and social location shape the roles, relationships, and influence of producers and key creatives. Participants will map their own positionality in relation to their project and examine how to apply principles of equitable creative process.

Developing with an Inclusive Lens

This session centers the development phase as a critical site for embedding equity, care, and intentionality into the creative process — ensuring that the project vision and pathway to production are clear, transparent, and inclusive for all producers. Participants will explore how to shape their project vision using care-based development frameworks, including collaborative story design and consent-driven research, to create a roadmap that guides the project from concept to production.

Inclusive Financing & Budgeting

This session introduces inclusive budgeting tools and financing strategies that promote equity across the production lifecycle. Topics include fair compensation, and practical tips for building budgets that reflect shared ownership, transparent practices, and community benefit. The session also addresses how to navigate currency imbalances in international coproductions.

Inclusive Co-Productions

This session explores how to build co-productions that uphold creative equity, financial fairness, and shared IP ownership and revenue participation — particularly when working across regions or countries with differing resources or systemic advantages. Participants will examine strategies for negotiating fair terms, drafting inclusive contracts, and navigating legal frameworks that support respectful collaboration, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Emphasis is placed on building co-productions as equitable partnerships, not just financing arrangements.

Inclusive Production Practices

This session offers practical tips for managing productions across diverse cultural and geographic contexts. It covers inclusive hiring, cross-cultural crew coordination, and ethical casting. Participants will explore safer set protocols, power-sharing approaches, culturally sensitive scheduling and inclusive catering practices. The session also addresses production and post-production workflows that prioritise access, consent, and psychological safety.

Accessibility in Production

Dedicated to creating accessible production environments. Includes planning for physical, sensory, cognitive, and communication accessibility across locations, documents, workflows, and on-set practices.

Equity in Distribution & Audience Engagement

This session explores how to design distribution strategies that center equity, access, and cultural relevance. Participants will examine festival and grassroots pathways, language justice, and co-created rollout plans while addressing how to share distribution rights, territories, and revenue ethically across coproducing partners. Emphasis is placed on avoiding extractive models, engaging communities as partners, and ensuring that marketing, access, and target audiences reflect the values and contributions of all collaborators.

Fees and Deadlines

In memoriam: Agustina Chiarino

EAVE mourns the passing of Uruguayan producer and EAVE graduate Agustina Chiarino, beloved member of the EAVE community, long-standing Group Leader and mentor of EAVE PUENTES, and one of the most respected and influential figures in Latin American cinema.

Born in Montevideo in 1977, Agustina dedicated her life to cinema, nurturing talent, building international collaborations, and supporting original voices. Trained in Political Science, Communication Studies, and Creative Documentary, she combined intellectual rigor, creative curiosity, and an extraordinary generosity of spirit throughout her remarkable career.

Agustina was a producer at Control Z Films before co-founding Mutante Cine alongside Fernando Epstein, a company that became a key force in Latin American independent cinema. In 2022, she launched her production company, Bocacha Films, continuing her lifelong commitment to discovering and supporting new stories.

Her filmography reflects both her artistic vision and her dedication to auteur cinema. As producer, she was behind acclaimed films including GIGANTE, EL 5 DE TALLERES and LAS OLAS by Adrián Biniez, HIROSHIMA and 3 by Pablo Stoll, TANTA AGUA by Ana Guevara and Leticia Jorge, and ALELI by Leticia Jorge. As co-producer, she contributed to internationally celebrated works such as BENZINHO, LAS HEREDERAS and MONOS. The films she helped bring to life received recognition at major festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, San Sebastián, Sundance and Toronto.

Beyond her achievements as a producer and co-producer, Agustina was a passionate advocate for Latin American cinema and international cooperation. She spent eight years leading project development and co-production initiatives at Canal 10 in Uruguay and shared her expertise as a lecturer and mentor at institutions across Latin America and beyond. She worked as a tutor and advisor for numerous prestigious programs, including Biennale College, BrLab, BioBioLab and, most notably, EAVE PUENTES.

For many years, Agustina was at the heart of EAVE PUENTES. As Group Leader, mentor and collaborator, she guided countless producers through their professional journeys. Her insight, intelligence and sharp understanding of international co-production were invaluable, but it was her warmth, empathy and genuine care for people that made her truly exceptional. She had a unique ability to create trust, encourage dialogue and help others believe in their projects and themselves.

Agustina’s impact extends far beyond the films she produced and the workshops she led. She helped shape careers, build lasting partnerships and strengthen the bridges between Latin America and the international film community. Her presence lightened up every room she entered, and her generosity and unique energy left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.

The EAVE community mourns the loss of a dear colleague, partner, mentor and friend. Her legacy continues to resonate through the filmmakers she supported, the stories she helped to bring to audiences around the world, and the community she helped to build.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, collaborators and the many whose lives she touched.

Agustina will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

A new EAVE Booster workshop designed for audiovisual producers and interested film professionals seeking to embed equity, inclusion, and ethical practices across the full production lifecycle, from development to distribution.

Online, September 7 - 10, 2026

Based on the EAVE Impact Think Tank 2025 report, this hands-on session will give actionable strategies on how to make productions & co-productions more equitable, inclusive and transparent. Gain practical tools to build productions grounded in shared ownership, balanced power, and sustainable cross-border partnerships. Explore collaborative approaches to project design, inclusive budgeting, and fair contracting.

Through top-tier experts on development, production, post-production, and distribution, the workshop aims to give a comprehensive view on the best practices to adopt with real-life examples. 

EXTENDED DEADLINE TO REGISTER: JUNE 24, 2026

When and where?

The workshop will take place over 4 half days from September 7th to 10th (14.30 - 18.00 CEST every day) on Zoom*.

*The workshop will not be available for replay, so your participation during the workshop hours is required. Only those participants who have paid their registration fee will be admitted to the Zoom.

For whom?

Whether you are an emerging producer or an established player in international coproductions, this workshop is designed to equip you with frameworks and tools to address inclusive production practices at the various production stages: from tackling power dynamics in contracting (e.g. between higher and lower capacity countries) to making sure all stakeholders in the story you are bringing to life have their voices heard.

“Producers can help reshape the global production landscape into a more just and representative space by centring on cultural authenticity, financial fairness, and ethical industry practices.” 
— extract from the Conclusion of the 2025 EAVE Impact Think Tank report

Workshop Programme

The module is led and devised by EAVE expert Tamara Dawit of Gobez Media, Ethiopia & Canada.

Sessions

​​Positionality & Power in Producing

A self-reflective session exploring how identity, privilege, and social location shape the roles, relationships, and influence of producers and key creatives. Participants will map their own positionality in relation to their project and examine how to apply principles of equitable creative process.

Developing with an Inclusive Lens

This session centers the development phase as a critical site for embedding equity, care, and intentionality into the creative process — ensuring that the project vision and pathway to production are clear, transparent, and inclusive for all producers. Participants will explore how to shape their project vision using care-based development frameworks, including collaborative story design and consent-driven research, to create a roadmap that guides the project from concept to production.

Inclusive Financing & Budgeting

This session introduces inclusive budgeting tools and financing strategies that promote equity across the production lifecycle. Topics include fair compensation, and practical tips for building budgets that reflect shared ownership, transparent practices, and community benefit. The session also addresses how to navigate currency imbalances in international coproductions.

Inclusive Co-Productions

This session explores how to build co-productions that uphold creative equity, financial fairness, and shared IP ownership and revenue participation — particularly when working across regions or countries with differing resources or systemic advantages. Participants will examine strategies for negotiating fair terms, drafting inclusive contracts, and navigating legal frameworks that support respectful collaboration, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Emphasis is placed on building co-productions as equitable partnerships, not just financing arrangements.

Inclusive Production Practices

This session offers practical tips for managing productions across diverse cultural and geographic contexts. It covers inclusive hiring, cross-cultural crew coordination, and ethical casting. Participants will explore safer set protocols, power-sharing approaches, culturally sensitive scheduling and inclusive catering practices. The session also addresses production and post-production workflows that prioritise access, consent, and psychological safety.

Accessibility in Production

Dedicated to creating accessible production environments. Includes planning for physical, sensory, cognitive, and communication accessibility across locations, documents, workflows, and on-set practices.

Equity in Distribution & Audience Engagement

This session explores how to design distribution strategies that center equity, access, and cultural relevance. Participants will examine festival and grassroots pathways, language justice, and co-created rollout plans while addressing how to share distribution rights, territories, and revenue ethically across coproducing partners. Emphasis is placed on avoiding extractive models, engaging communities as partners, and ensuring that marketing, access, and target audiences reflect the values and contributions of all collaborators.

Locarno Open Doors Reveals 2026 Selection and New Scholarship by EAVE and FFL

Open Doors, Locarno’s co-production platform and talent development programme for filmmakers from equity-seeking communities and regions where artistic expression is at risk, announces its selection for 2026, a bold and diverse slate of voices from across the African continent.

On Monday, August 10, a jury of industry professionals will award financial and in-kind prizes to selected winning projects. New this year, professional training organisation EAVE, together with the Film Fund Luxembourg, will offer a scholarship for the EAVE Marketing Workshop, worth EUR 4,000.

Now in its second year of a four-edition cycle dedicated to 42 countries in Africa, Open Doors presents its Projects, Producers, and Directors programmes, bringing together a generation of filmmakers whose work spans fiction, documentary, and animation across more than ten countries.

From 5 to 10 August, the programme offers hands-on training, mentoring, and networking, alongside public screenings and events during the Locarno Film Festival and its industry arm Locarno Pro.

Drawn from ten different countries across the continent, this year’s Open Doors Projects showcases an exciting range of six selected first and second features in development: from portraits of music and memory to explorations of womanhood, urban life, and the long shadows of colonialism. From Ghana, Aseye Fiagbe directs and produces Too Much Music, a documentary portrait of Ghanaian keyboard prodigy Kiki Gyan. Mozambique and South Africa come together in Chapa 100, an urban, surrealist love story directed by Ique Langa, whose previous feature O profeta screened in the Tiger Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam earlier this year, and produced by Creative Producers Indaba graduate Lara Sousa (Kulunga Filmes). Nigerian director Ugochukwu Azuya and producer Olubunmi Ogunsola (ENSEMBLE) present I Live in V.I, a sharp social satire about urban space and gentrification. From Somalia and Djibouti, Mohammed Sheikh and producer Kadir Harbi Hassan (Aleel Films) bring fiction project Accept My Plea For Burial (Baryo Aas Iga Gudoon), which probes the tensions between tradition and justice in a rural community. A Tanzania–Kenya collaboration, The Ones With The Tempered Flowers is an experimental documentary weaving together themes of womanhood and motherhood, directed by Neema Ngelime and produced by Ivy Kiru of AQ Pictures and LBx Africa, who also participated in the 2026 La Fabrique Cinéma programme at the Cannes Film Festival with the project Strong Wind. Rounding out the selection, Ugandan fiction project A Vineyard for A Lobster, directed by Talemwa Pius and produced by Gashumba Emmanuel (Gripmagic Uganda Limited), uses a snow-covered landscape as an allegory for the enduring shadows of colonialism.

The Open Doors Producers programme supports creative producers in building sustainable careers and cross-border networks. This year's six participants come from six different countries. From Burkina Faso, Mamounata Nikiema (Pilumpiku Production) is a veteran of the continent's film industry, knighted at FESPACO 2021 for her contributions to cinema. Natasha Craveiro (Cabo Verde, Korikaxoru Films) produced Omi Nobu, which screened as part of the Open Doors Screenings at Locarno 2025. Adja Mariam Mahre Soro (Ivory Coast) leads Studio Kä, an animation studio she founded in Abidjan. Nigerian producer David Ikeata (Vox Cinematic Films) has worked across borders, co-producing Kazakh-Nigerian fiction film Adam Bol (2024) and currently developing a new project with an Egyptian director. Rua Osman (Sudan, Helomur Picture) brings extensive production experience, with a resumé including festival landmarks You Will Die at Twenty (Venice, 2019) and Goodbye Julia (Cannes, 2023). Rounding out the selection, Tapiwa Chipfupa (Zimbabwe, Ambidextrous Pictures) is an EAVE alumna who has recently launched the international training and mentorship programme Audiovisual Entrepreneurs Laboratory (AVEL).

An overview of all selected Projects, Producers and Directors can be found here.

EAVE graduate Yanis Gaye, Head of Studies at Open Doors: “With this new iteration of Open Doors’ African focus, we’re looking to affirm the richness of storytelling across the continent, with artistic voices and creative entrepreneurs strongly dedicated to meet their audiences at home, within their diasporas and internationally. Our programme is set to allow those synergies– within our cohort; between them and Open Doors alumni from other regions; and through the encounters they will have in Locarno – to take hold through concrete and actionable interactions. African film eco-systems and their practitioners are a chance for the industry, to globally redesign some of the ways we think of our co-production practices, our audience building strategies, and the economics of cinema as whole.”

Zsuzsi Bánkuti, Head of Open Doors: “With this selection, we are reaffirming something we deeply believe in: that the future of cinema depends on who gets to make it, and how. One of my hopes for this edition, and for Open Doors more broadly, is to keep amplifying female voices, both behind the camera and in the producer's chair. Gender parity in our industry isn't just a goal for the screen; it has to be lived in the way we work and who we support. But it goes further than that: what excites me most about this year's selection is how many of these filmmakers understand that cinema is never a solo act. A film is always made by many hands, many minds, many stories. The more we build our industry on that truth - on horizontal collaboration, on genuine equality within our creative communities, on more diversity - the richer and more honest our cinema will be."

Special Offer for EAVE graduates: Claudia 20% off

Dear EAVE Producers,

Are you ready to think digital? 

>>> EAVE and Under the Milky Way International are continuing their partnership by extending the special 20% discount on the Claudia service for EAVE producers! 

Claudia is a new digital distribution infrastructure, designed to give feature films and documentaries direct, professional access to major global VoD platforms.

Claudia was built specifically for independent producers releasing single films. Through a dedicated online interface, you can create an account, submit your film, and manage its international VoD release on leading non-selective platforms such as Apple TV, Google/YouTube and Amazon, across multiple territories.

Read more in Screen International!

The service is transactional (TVoD-first), ensuring that your film is published, indexed and permanently available on platforms.

Building on Under The Milky Way’s 15 years of experience, Claudia offers a transparent, cost-effective and scalable way to distribute. It can be complementary to existing distribution models, and it’s flexible enough to adapt to your various distribution plans.

Find here a short case study of the film WE THE SURFERS that found its global audience through self-distribution with Claudia.

From surf to screen - a successful marketing strategy

Arthur Bourbon of HAND STUDIO distributed his documentary WE THE SURFERS through Claudia. The marketing strategy was built on community credibility and targeted outreach. Drawing on 20 years in the surf world, he toured the film across 100+ festival screenings (including the Ocean Film Tour), won several awards, and focused his PR efforts on specialised surf media, achieving wide coverage with a limited budget. "We achieved great results because the unique, powerful subject of the film allowed it to stand out within the surf community." - he says.

For the global VOD launch on Claudia, Arthur and two PR professionals (one based in France, and one in the USA)  generated a consistent social media presence by releasing content every 3 days and generating viral reels with millions of views from all over the world. His approach demonstrates that for independent filmmakers, a well-executed niche strategy and a strong pre-existing network can be more effective than a large communications budget.

The film was released on Apple, Amazon and Google in TVoD on the following major territories: US, Canada, UK, France, Australia, New Zealand (and rest of world in French and English speaking territories). The investment in Claudia has been fully recouped.

Apply now until June 8th!

Designed for today’s rapidly evolving industry, the programme combines traditional marketing strategies with cutting-edge technology, equipping participants with practical tools to enhance their film and series marketing campaigns. 

From strategising, engaging with the press to leveraging the latest technologies, including AI, it provides a comprehensive guide to identifying and reaching audiences on a global scale, using data and creativity. Through a hands-on, collaborative approach, participants work together on the selected projects to develop concrete marketing strategies. Guided by top-tier experts, they gain practical knowledge and forward-looking insights, from audience targeting and positioning to international sales and distribution, ready to apply across every stage of a film’s release.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The cohort consists of 48 participants from around the world, of which 8 are bringing a project. These projects serve as case studies throughout the workshop, which consists of plenaries and group works unfolding over an intensive 4-core-days programme. 

In the afternoon interactive group work sessions, the participants apply the insights gained in the morning from our top-tier marketing tutors to develop concrete marketing strategies for the selected projects, collaborating on them for nearly half of the time. This horizontal learning approach enhances the experience by allowing each participant to contribute with their unique know-how while fostering natural networking and community building within the group. These concrete marketing strategies will also serve as practical tools that participants can directly implement in their own professional contexts.

Co-Pro Access 2026 Launched to Connect South Asian Projects with Co-Production Partners

ProducerLAND, Storiculture's flagship producer-first initiative, has launched Co-Pro Access 2026 in partnership with Tasveer — the only Oscar-qualifying South Asian film festival in the world — and Institut Français, the cultural and cooperation service of the French Embassy in India. The Producers Guild of India and EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs) join as programme partners.

Co-Pro Access 2026 is a targeted accelerator for feature-length fiction and documentary projects in advanced development, designed to prepare them for co-production, financing, and partnership engagement. It is not an early-stage development lab. 

Co-Pro Access runs across two phases. A virtual lab in the first week of July will offer each project tailored one-to-one mentorship alongside shared masterclasses across fiction and non-fiction tracks. Industry Days follow in the fourth week of July in Mumbai, designed as a conversion-focused platform : structured one-to-one meetings and decision-maker roundtables, with no passive audiences. Selected projects will also receive project grants.

The programme will select eight fiction and eight non-fiction projects.

Applications close end of May, 2026.

"We are thrilled for EAVE to be programme partners of Co-Pro Access 2026. Together with ProducerLAND, we share the common goal to nurture producers, and to create new industry standards and more inclusive and more empathetic production practices."  — Kristina Trapp, EAVE

 

About the Programme

Sessions are structured around four areas: co-production readiness and positioning; financing strategy and budget architecture; materials and pitch development. 

The programme is open to producers with prior credits, attached to projects with completed feature-length screenplays. Applicants must submit a full shooting script (SWA registered or equivalent if out of India), director's statement, producer's vision, details of financing secured, a pitch deck with a clear ask, and a note of intention outlining the project's suitability for co-production.

Co-Pro Access builds on ProducerLAND's existing programme slate. The platform's recently concluded Creative Development Lab, in collaboration with The Writers Lab International  (USA), supported nine writer-producer teams in its first edition. In November 2025, a Transmedia Lab brought together nine participants and global mentors including Liam Young and Jeff Gomez.

Apply now: EAVE INCLUSIVE PRODUCTION PRACTICES 2026

A new EAVE Booster workshop designed for audiovisual producers and interested film professionals seeking to embed equity, inclusion, and ethical practices across the full production lifecycle, from development to distribution.

Online, September 7-10, 2026

Based on the EAVE Impact Think Tank 2025 report, this hands-on workshop will give actionable strategies on how to make productions & co-productions more equitable, inclusive and transparent. Gain practical tools to build productions grounded in shared ownership, balanced power, and sustainable cross-border partnerships. Explore collaborative approaches to project design, inclusive budgeting, and fair contracting.

Through top-tier experts on development, production, post-production, and distribution, the workshop aims to give a comprehensive view on the best practices to adopt with real-life examples. 

DEADLINE TO REGISTER: JUNE 17, 2026

When and where?

The workshop will take place over 4 half days from September 7th to 10th (14.30 - 18.00 CEST every day) on Zoom*.

*The workshop will not be available for replay, so your participation during the workshop hours is required. Only those participants who have paid their registration fee will be admitted to the Zoom.

For whom?

Whether you are an emerging producer or an established player in international coproductions, this workshop is designed to equip you with frameworks and tools to address inclusive production practices at the various production stages: from tackling power dynamics in contracting (e.g. between higher and lower capacity countries) to making sure all stakeholders in the story you are bringing to life have their voices heard.

“Producers can help reshape the global production landscape into a more just and representative space by centring on cultural authenticity, financial fairness, and ethical industry practices.” 
— extract from the Conclusion of the 2025 EAVE Impact Think Tank report

Workshop Programme

The module is led and devised by EAVE expert Tamara Dawit of Gobez Media, Ethiopia & Canada.

Sessions

​​Positionality & Power in Producing

A self-reflective session exploring how identity, privilege, and social location shape the roles, relationships, and influence of producers and key creatives. Participants will map their own positionality in relation to their project and examine how to apply principles of equitable creative process.

Developing with an Inclusive Lens

This session centers the development phase as a critical site for embedding equity, care, and intentionality into the creative process — ensuring that the project vision and pathway to production are clear, transparent, and inclusive for all producers. Participants will explore how to shape their project vision using care-based development frameworks, including collaborative story design and consent-driven research, to create a roadmap that guides the project from concept to production.

Inclusive Financing & Budgeting

This session introduces inclusive budgeting tools and financing strategies that promote equity across the production lifecycle. Topics include fair compensation, and practical tips for building budgets that reflect shared ownership, transparent practices, and community benefit. The session also addresses how to navigate currency imbalances in international coproductions.

Inclusive Co-Productions

This session explores how to build co-productions that uphold creative equity, financial fairness, and shared IP ownership and revenue participation — particularly when working across regions or countries with differing resources or systemic advantages. Participants will examine strategies for negotiating fair terms, drafting inclusive contracts, and navigating legal frameworks that support respectful collaboration, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Emphasis is placed on building co-productions as equitable partnerships, not just financing arrangements.

Inclusive Production Practices

This session offers practical tips for managing productions across diverse cultural and geographic contexts. It covers inclusive hiring, cross-cultural crew coordination, and ethical casting. Participants will explore safer set protocols, power-sharing approaches, culturally sensitive scheduling and inclusive catering practices. The session also addresses production and post-production workflows that prioritise access, consent, and psychological safety.

Accessibility in Production

Dedicated to creating accessible production environments. Includes planning for physical, sensory, cognitive, and communication accessibility across locations, documents, workflows, and on-set practices.

Equity in Distribution & Audience Engagement

This session explores how to design distribution strategies that center equity, access, and cultural relevance. Participants will examine festival and grassroots pathways, language justice, and co-created rollout plans while addressing how to share distribution rights, territories, and revenue ethically across coproducing partners. Emphasis is placed on avoiding extractive models, engaging communities as partners, and ensuring that marketing, access, and target audiences reflect the values and contributions of all collaborators.

Fees and Deadlines

  • Registration Deadline: June 17th
  • Registration Fee: 400 EUR

How to Register

Register Now by June 17th through the registration form and take part in this workshop!

A limited number of scholarships are available specifically for selected BIPOC participants and for participants from low production capacity countries (priority to LCC group B countries as defined by Creative Europe/Media) or countries with no existing support mechanisms.

Don't miss the chance to embed equitable and inclusive practices at the heart of your projects under the guidance of leading experts in the field.

The Nomadic Film Space - conceived by Yetu (Un)limited

The African & Diasporic Audience Development Think Tank - A Cannes Marché du Film Session - May 15 – 10:00–12:00 (Hotel Canopy)

The African & Diasporic Audience Development Think Tank was initiated in 2025 by Yetu (Un)limited ; its pilot edition was held in Salvador, brazil, in partnership with the mostra de cinemas africanos, generating case studies, qualitative audience design frameworks, and the first edition of an ongoing publication. This cannes 2026 session is the second iteration of its traveling workshop. The think tank combines market research with the development of endogenous audience design methodologies — moving beyond reporting toward the co-creation of tools, templates, and a support mechanism dedicated to growing revenue-generating audiences for African cinema. the cannes session will showcase the brazil pilot findings and set the strategic framework for the future of this innovative platform.

Yetu (Un)limited is a collaboration between African producers (EAVE graduates Melissa Adeyemo, Yanis Gaye, Carol Kioko, Creative Producer Indaba graduate Chloé Ortolé) who met at the EAVE Producers Workshop 2023.

Interview with EAVE producer Tibor Keser on Fiume o Morte!

EAVE graduate Tibor Keser is a Zagreb-based producer with more than fifty film and audiovisual projects spanning fiction, documentary, and hybrid forms, as well as television and commercial work. He collaborates closely with the Croatian production house Restart on international documentary co-productions, while also developing projects through his own company, KOMPOT which he co-founded in 2019.

His work has screened at hundreds of festivals worldwide and aired across major European broadcasters. His recent feature documentary Fiume o morte! by Igor Bezinović premiered in the Tiger Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2025, where it won both the Tiger Award and the FIPRESCI Prize, and in 2026 won the European Film Award for European Documentary, becoming the first-ever Croatian documentary Oscar candidate, and going on to become the most-watched Croatian documentary since the 1990s. Currently, the film is nominated for the FIPRESCI Documentary Grand Prix 2025, given to the best documentary film of the year, with the award ceremony happening on May 7th, during the Millennium Docs Against Gravity Festival.

Tibor was also selected for Producers on the Move at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, further cementing his focus on international collaboration. We sat down with him to talk about the journey from development to festival success - and what comes next.

Congratulations on winning the European Documentary award for Fiume o Morte! at the European Film Awards! How did the co-production between Croatia, Italy and Slovenia come together in practice?

Thanks for your kind words! And thanks for the opportunity to talk about it. We, the producers, tend to usually hide somewhere in the background, which doesn't mean we don't have opinions. I'll do my best not to make this a boring and overly civil interview.

EFA was unlike anything Vanja (Jambrović, fellow producer) and I had ever done, and we’ve been through a lot together over the years. An entirely different experience from receiving an award at a festival. Festival prizes either happen or they don’t; it’s out of our hands once the film is out there. With EFA, we decided to run a real campaign, and we had very great support from HAVC (Croatian Audiovisual Center) throughout the process. At the same time, we were also running a separate campaign for the Academy Awards, aiming for the coveted Oscar, as well as for the Goya Awards. In the end, it almost felt more like a game than a competition. Looking back, the biggest challenge was simply getting people, our friends and colleagues across Europe, to actually sit down and watch the film. Funnily enough, that’s the first hurdle, but also the biggest one. Festival appearances help, of course, they put a kind of stamp of approval on a film. But most filmmakers are just ordinary people (myself included): we get home in the evening, have dinner, and put on whatever’s on a streaming platform. We had quite a few hoops to jump through to make sure enough people actually saw the film.

Regarding the co-production, we were lucky that our story organically connects that region; historically, sure, but also now, so forming meaningful partnerships felt very natural. We tried to include France during development, and Germany too, but couldn't find common ground. Bigger markets don't play well with smaller ones. I hate to say it because it goes against the spirit of open collaboration and European togetherness, but it's the truth, honestly. Perhaps there's a lesson in there?

 

What were the challenges and the advantages of a collaboration between 3 countries?

The biggest advantage was that we actually managed to form a really good team. All of the co-producers – EAVE graduate Marina (Gumzi, from Slovenian NOSOROGI), Erica (Barbiani) & Lucia (Candelpergher; both from Italian Videomante) - were passionate about the project and worked together with us, EAVE graduate Vanja (Jambrović from Croatian RESTART) and me, as true collaborators. It wasn't a purely monetary exchange, like some co-productions tend to be. We were very much like a family, for better and for worse, and everyone understood that we were trying to do something bigger than just the sum of its parts.

The biggest challenge was the timeframe. EFA's marked 9 years of doing this film for me. A lifetime. Also, different countries have different production schedules, mostly tied to legal obligations, so we had to work within constraints, and those are mostly never good for authors and artists. In my experience, the greatest resource a film can have is time - more shooting days, more editing hours, more room to think, and talk. Time is what makes a better film in the end.

 

You developed the project through the EAVE Producers Workshop in 2019. How did that experience influence the project's development, particularly in shaping the financing strategy or connecting with international partners?

EAVE helped me enormously in shaping a communication strategy which worked. I would love to say now that EAVE just gave me the blueprint for success, but it wasn't like that. There are no keys to the kingdom which EAVE unlocks, only hard work and perseverance. So, the absolute biggest gain was the network, and the camaraderie - finding access to such a diverse group of filmmakers and producers, and getting their honest feedback on the project. When you're deep inside your own film, you develop blind spots, and you become biased. Being able to talk openly with fellows and hearing their perspectives is crucial. Films really are a collaborative effort, and EAVE gave us the tools and the connections to help make that real.

 

The film blends documentary with staged reenactments performed by the citizens of Rijeka. From a producer's perspective, did it create specific challenges compared to a more conventional documentary?

The entire process was a huge challenge because we were working with non-professionals, both in front of and behind the camera, trying to build something that had never quite been done before. And I wouldn't label it a documentary. It's a piece of cinema that captures a set of ideas and then chooses different approaches to present them - a strategy which, when I think about it, is what all great cinema does. What "Fiume o morte!" managed was to find layers of narrative that were genuinely unique and engaging.

That's also what I'd like to see more of in European film: the courage to peek outside the box, to be provocative, to choose themes that matter. There's so much shifting in the world right now. We have the platform, and with it - the responsibility to use it.

EAVE graduates Tibor Keser, Vanja Jambrović, Marina Gumzi

 

How did the audience resonate with the film, in and outside Rijeka?

It's the most-watched film ever in Rijeka, and the most-watched documentary of all time in Croatia. Art-kino Croatia, a local cinema in Rijeka, held over a hundred screenings, most of them sold out, more than any film before it. We couldn't have made this film without the people of Rijeka, and they feel that. They own it. I'm truly satisfied with that exchange.

 

What's in the pipeline for you next?

I'm juggling several films now, which is just the nature of the job. A few of them are pushing into hybrid territory, much like "Fiume o morte!".

One is "Foundations" by Srđan Kovačević — it deals with a very painful period in Split in the 1990s while my country was being torn apart by war. Our society doesn't seem to have the capacity to confront some of the injustices from those years, and we want to put a spotlight on that. Another is "A Boat in the Backyard" by Tonći Gaćina - a documentary comedy about a very Mediterranean (male) dream of owning a boat, at least once in your life, and what people are willing to sacrifice for it. It's funny and melancholic in equal measure, which I find irresistible. And then there's "Kolo" by Bojan Mrđenović, about a network of people trading in used bricks - material mined from the poorest parts of Croatia and sold to some of the wealthiest people looking to buy a piece of history. It sounds absurd, because it is.

If there's a thread connecting all of it, it's probably this: we have a platform, and with it a duty to speak about what matters. The moment I start doing the same thing day in and day out, I'll probably stop making films.

TIES THAT BIND Workshop and Labs Kicked Off in Udine

The 17th edition of the TIES THAT BIND Asia-Europe Co-Production Workshop continues with its second workshop (April 26–30, 2026) in Udine.

Guided by group leaders Bradley Liew (Epicmedia Productions, PH) and Jonas Weydemann (Weydemann Bros., DE), participants continue developing their projects, companies, and careers in group work sessions.

The programme features two co-production case studies, moderated by TTB Head of Studies Christophe Bruncher, and presented in collaboration with FOCUS ASIA, the industry section of the Udine Far East Film Festival:

  • FOUR SEASONS IN JAVA, produced by Ifa Isfansyah (Forka Films, ID) and directed by Kamila Andini 
  • FILIPIÑANA, by TTB alumni Bradley Liew and Jeremy Chua (Singapore International Film Festival, SG), directed by Rafael Manuel, and premiered at Sundance 2026 

Participants also engage in a series of industry sessions, including The Vertical Factor, moderated by Roger Garcia with speakers such as Pengnan Hu, Bryce Tsao, Katy Kim, Kunlin Wang, and LeeYein Teng, alongside discussions on European and Asian distribution strategies in partnership with Europa International and Europa Distribution, and Mind the Gap, presented by Patrick Frater.

Participants also receive expert feedback on the distribution potential of their projects from leading European and Asian distributors, including Bruce D. Lee, Stephan Holl, Vincent Quek, Albert Yao, Monica Felea, and Florestan La Torre, as well as sales agents such as Valeska Neu, Marta Ravani, and Cinthya Calderón.

The programme offers tailored individual consultations, covering script development (Clare Downs), pitching and communication training (Sibylle Kurz), and career, company, and project guidance (Christophe Bruncher). Participants further benefit from insights into Europe–Asia co-production opportunities through exchanges with TTB alumni, including Alemberg Ang, Diana Paroiu, Flavia Oertwig, and Martin Horyna.

Alongside the workshop, Udine hosts two complementary programmes:

  • Distribution Lab, welcoming 15 European and Asian distributors for case studies, group work, and screenings, focused on cross-market release strategies 
  • Sales Lab, bringing together over 10 European sales agents to explore the circulation of European films in Asia 

Both Labs are organised in collaboration with Europa Distribution, Europa International, and FOCUS ASIA, and connect with the workshop through joint plenary sessions, fostering exchange across a wide international industry network.

We are happy to announce that TIES THAT BIND project TITANIC OCEAN by Konstantina Kotzamani - a story about identity, desire, and transformation -, developed at the 2019 edition of the workshop, was selected for Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival this year! We congratulate the producers: EAVE and TTB graduates Maria Drandaki, Radu Stancu (Romanian National Coordinator),  EAVE graduates Luisa Romeo, Nina Frese, and executive producer: EAVE graduate Amy Gardner.

TIES THAT BIND is organised by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Audiovisual Fund, EAVE, the Udine Far East Film Festival, and the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), with the support of the Creative Europe – MEDIA programme of the European Union.

EAVE+ 16th Edition: Long-term strategies for future-proof film production companies

The 16th edition of EAVE+ takes place from April 10 - 15, 2026 at Hotel Légère Premium in Luxembourg.

The workshop will gather 17 experienced producers from 11 countries to discuss the structure of their companies, best management practices and innovative business models, guided by a hand-picked selection of seasoned industry professionals.

In tailor-made sessions according to the participants’ individual needs and company profiles, EAVE+ will tackle the most pressing issues for producers who want to run a sustainable company, such as transformational processes in film companies, IP management, diversification, new business models and company constellations.

EAVE+ Head of Studies Jani Thiltges (Samsa Film, LU), will lead group discussions analysing in depth the individual company cases of the selected participants. The group work will be complemented by various sessions held by the EAVE+ pedagogical team and guest experts. Additionally, participants will be able to go into more detail into the topics which are most urgent and most important to them and to their particular companies, during one-to-one meetings with all the experts and with each other.

“This programme was instrumental in challenging not only our thinking but also our approach to how we go forward as partners and with the company. It involved very detailed and somewhat difficult conversations but we are now in a place to move forward and have a roadmap of how to get there.”

Reece Cargan, Randan Film and Television Productions, UK

“EAVE+ allowed me to talk freely about the challenges facing my company. I never felt judged, and I felt we all had common issues. I come home with a new energy, and a motivation to be a better producer. EAVE+ has given me the tools to do that."

Julie Groleau, Couronne Nord, Canada

EAVE+ takes place once a year in Luxembourg with different experts and curates the most urgent, contemporary topics for each session according to current industry needs.

A relationship falls apart, a passport expires - and suddenly everything is at stake: Egyptian archaeologist Maysoon lives in Berlin with her partner Tobi and their two children when her past catches up with her: once politically active before the Arab Spring, returning to Egypt could cost her her freedom. As she fears the loss of her home, her family, and her sense of control, Maysoon begins a battle.

Hands-on A.I. Producers Lab - a new EAVE collaboration

The Hands-on A.I. Producers Lab (December 3 - 4, 2026, Vienna) presented by International Screen Institute in collaboration with EAVE, is designed for producers ready to engage with AI in a focused, small-group environment, and combines hands-on peer learning with close guidance from experienced mentors.

In a two-day practical, workshop-based format focused on learning by doing, participants work directly with AI tools, practice effective prompting and develop customised workflows or first prototypes for their own production practice.

The Lab is primarily intended for producers who have completed the ISI Future Ready Programme or the EAVE AI Skills Booster. Producers with prior experience working with AI may also apply to attend the Lab as a stand-alone programme.

In order to ensure a shared foundation and to help participants get the most out of the Lab, prior participation of ISI´s Future Ready or EAVE’s AI Skills Booster is highly recommended.

  • Application Deadline: 8 June 2026
  • Regular Programme Fee: 550,- Euros excl. VAT

****Graduates of all EAVE AI Skills Booster editions are eligible for a reduced fee: 450 Euros excl.VAT (10% off the regular fee).

Participants will leave the Lab equipped with:

  • Practical experience applying AI tools to concrete production challenges
  • Having taken essential steps in customising their own personalised AI-based tool, agent, or workflow, developed during the Lab and adapted to their professional needs, individual projects, or existing production pipelines
  • Increased confidence in experimenting with emerging technologies
  • A grounded understanding of ethical, legal, and business implications of AI use
  • Enhanced collaboration skills across creative, technical, and legal perspectives
  • Greater awareness of diversity, ethics, and representation in AI-driven tools and platforms

These outcomes support producers in translating experimentation into responsible and sustainable use of innovation and digital technologies.

The Hands-on A.I. Producers Lab is designed for producers with prior hands-on experience working with AI technologies.

Project requirement
Applicants are expected to apply with a concrete project, production challenge, or development context they wish to work on during the Lab. This ensures that the hands-on format can be directly applied to real-world workflows and individual professional needs.

Prior experience & selection criteria
The Lab is designed for participants with prior exposure to AI-related tools or workflows. Applicants who have previously participated in the Future Ready programme or the EAVE AI Skills Booster will be prioritised in the selection process. For all other applicants, participation in a comparable AI-focused workshop or training programme is strongly recommended to ensure a shared baseline for experimentation and peer exchange.

The working language of the Lab is English; therefore, a good working proficiency is recommended. Applications are welcome from individuals of all nationalities.
Please note that, in the selection process, diversity across participating companies is taken into consideration.

EAVE Producers Workshop 2026 Hosts International Film Industry Events in Luxembourg

As part of the EAVE Producers Workshop 2026, EAVE welcomed 97 film industry professionals from around 40 countries to Luxembourg for the first session of its year-long training programme, taking place from 6 to 13 March alongside the Luxembourg City Film Festival.

Supported by Creative Europe and Film Fund Luxembourg, EAVE continues to play a key role in upskilling, training and connecting producers and audiovisual professionals from across the globe while reinforcing Luxembourg’s position as an active partner in international co-production.

On 7 March, two dedicated events created opportunities for exchange between workshop participants and the wider film community.

In the afternoon, the public conference “Rethinking Festival and Release Strategies: Adapting Film Releases to a Changing Ecosystem” took place at Cercle Cité. The discussion explored how filmmakers, producers, sales agents and festival representatives can respond to shifting models of film circulation, from premiere strategies to long-term audience visibility. Among the speakers were EAVE graduates Didar Domehri (Maneki Films, France) and Vincent Quenault (Red Lion, Luxembourg).

Later that evening, professionals from across the European audiovisual sector gathered at Mudam Luxembourg for the Mix and Match Evening, an informal event designed to encourage dialogue between EAVE producers, international sales companies, festival representatives and industry guests of the Luxembourg City Film Festival. The gathering offered a relaxed setting for conversations, new contacts and potential future collaborations.

The events have been organised in partnership with the Luxembourg City Film Festival, in collaboration with the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel, and with the valued support of the Film Fund Luxembourg and Creative Europe MEDIA Desk Luxembourg.

EAVE is also proudly supported by the national initiative Luxembourg – Let’s Make It Happen, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, highlighting the country’s commitment to creativity, openness and international cooperation in the audiovisual sector. 

Luxembourg.

Sustaining creativity.

EAVE, Europe’s leading producer training organisation, is proud to kick off its prestigious year-long training programme: the EAVE Producers Workshop 2026 in Luxembourg, welcoming an exceptional international delegation of film professionals from across the globe.

For nearly four decades, EAVE has been at the forefront of professional training for international film producers. EAVE, based in Luxembourg and supported by the Film Fund Luxembourg and Creative Europe, hosts every year several of its core workshops in Luxembourg, such as the Producers Workshop, the Marketing Workshop and EAVE+.

"In 2025 alone, EAVE brought 254 industry professionals from 56 countries to Luxembourg, and 39 international co-productions have been released by Luxembourg-based EAVE producers - this is a powerful testament to Luxembourg’s dynamic role in the global audiovisual sector, to which EAVE is proud to contribute!" - says EAVE CEO Kristina Trapp.

The first week of the EAVE Producers Workshop 2026 (March 6 – 13) takes place during the Luxembourg City Film Festival (March 5 – 15), the Grand Duchy’s largest annual film event. EAVE brings 97 film professionals from around 40 different countries to Luxembourg to exchange and network with Luxembourgish industry professionals and to promote Luxembourg as co-production partner and film location standing for creativity, diversity and sustainability!

Building on the synergies between the festival and the workshop, a special event has been organised in partnership with the Luxembourg City Film Festival, in collaboration with the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel, and with the valued support of the Film Fund Luxembourg and Creative Europe MEDIA Desk Luxembourg.

Among the speakers:

  • EAVE graduate and group leader Didar Domehri (MANEKI FILMS, France)

In a rapidly changing film landscape, traditional strategies for premiering and distributing films are now being called into question. This conference brings together filmmakers, producers, international sales agents (Europa International) and festival representatives for an open dialogue on how to rethink festival positioning, premiere selection, market exposure and long-term visibility.

 

MIX AND MATCH EVENING (MUDAM, March 7th, 18:30) – private event on invitation only

Conceived as a convivial gathering at the heart of the European film ecosystem, this event will bring together members of European Film Festivals, Europa International, representatives of the national stage, as well as participants and experts of the 2026 EAVE Producers Workshop, around a simple yet essential objective: building professional connections.

Designed as an informal and stimulating moment of exchange, this initiative aims to foster synergies between festivals, international sales professionals, producers and project leaders. In a context where European cooperation is more strategic than ever, it will provide a welcoming space for meaningful encounters, cross-sector conversations and the emergence of future collaborations.

Both useful and warm in spirit, this gathering will celebrate the power of networks, collective intelligence and the pleasure of coming together to shape the future of European cinema.

 

EAVE is delighted to promote the values and faces of Luxembourg by adopting the signature of LuXembourg - Let’s Make It Happen, an initiative that celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Happy Anniversary, LuXembourg – Let's Make It Happen!

EAVE SLATE

EAVE SLATE, run by When East Meets West in close partnership with EAVE, has selected 8 European companies that are developing a slate of A/V works and will offer them consultancies on how to build a successful company slate and strategic company planning, together with business-to-business exchanges with key players from different industry sectors.

The programme combines the EAVE group work method with a series of plenary sessions and individual consultancies focusing on strategic company planning, potential risk evaluation and company diversification. The main goal is to define realistic short-, mid- and long-term strategies for their companies and how to pick the right projects to include in their company slates.

EAVE IMPACT THINK TANK

At WEMW, EAVE launched the 8th edition of the EAVE Impact Think Tank (January 17 - 18, 2026), which turns the lens inward, looking at the internal well-being and mental health of producers, especially those working at the intersection of systemic inequity, identity-based exclusion, displacement, and under-resourced environments. Our aim is to co-design new approaches to support, sustainability, and collective care.

The EAVE Impact Think Tank is organised in partnership with our long-term partner WEMW, and our generous partners Canada Media Fund (CMF) and Telefilm Canada, as well as the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes. The EAVE Impact Think Tank is supported by DW Akademie funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the British Council Travel Grant Fund delivered in partnership with the BFI (using National Lottery Funds).

In post-production

  • EAVE project FIRES is in post-production, producer: EAVE graduate Bojana Radulovic, co-producer: EAVE graduate Nevena Savić

Slovenian director Nina Tratnik has completed shooting her debut feature FIRES (Požari) on 14 November 2025, a Montenegrin–Albanian–Serbian coproduction led by an all-women producing team headed by EAVE graduate Bojana Radulović of Code Blue Production. Torn between her own forbidden desires and the unsettling attraction she feels toward her handball coach—a man who skillfully charms her entire family—18-year-old Ana finds herself suffocating during one scorching summer. As her father’s need for control intensifies, her mother retreats into silence, and her grandmother approaches her final days, Ana is pushed to her breaking point. In the heat of it all, she must choose what in her life will burn—and what she will allow to survive. Written by Jovana Bojović and starring Janja Ćetković, Aleksandar Gavranić, Maja Stojanović, and Olivera Vuković, the project has a budget of 455,000 EUR, with most of it already secured. The Film Centre of Montenegro, the Albanian National Cinematography Center, the Secretariat for Culture and Sports of the Capital City of Podgorica, and the Tourist Organisation of Podgorica are backing the project. Shot over 19 days and set for completion by July 2026, Fires has been developed and showcased at major European industry platforms, with its premiere and distribution still to be confirmed.
