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.

FOCUS ASIA presents a rich industry lineup featuring:

  • All Genres Project Market – A dedicated platform for high-quality feature films in development with strong co-production or co-financing potential between Europe and Asia.

  • Far East in Progress – The first and only European works-in-progress section entirely focused on Asian films in post-production, seeking international distribution and festival premieres.

  • Distribution Lab – Organized in partnership with Europa Distribution, this exclusive lab brings together over 20 distributors from 15+ countries to exchange expertise and explore strategies for international film distribution.

  • Sales Lab – Organized in collaboration with European Film Promotion, this lab offers European sales agents direct access to Asian buyers and insights into sales strategies tailored to the region’s highly fragmented market.

  • EAVE Ties That Bind – A high-level workshop that connects Asian and European film professionals, offering project development support and mentorship from top industry experts.

  • Alongside these core initiatives, FOCUS ASIA also offers an extensive programme of lectures, case studies, one-on-one meetings, and networking activities, providing an unparalleled opportunity for Asian and European professionals to build meaningful and lasting industry connections.

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.

Creating sustainability.

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!

In a rapidly changing film landscape, traditional strategies for premiering and distributing films are now being called into question.

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!
