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 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.

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.”

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

  • FINAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 5
  • Registration Fee: 400 EUR

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.

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.

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.

Applications are now open for EAVE’s leading film marketing and promotion workshop! Curious minds, films and series at any stage are welcome, whether your project is just starting out in development, pre-production or already in post-production. Each marketing tool will be adapted to your stage with a personalised approach during the practical working sessions. 

In Luxembourg, November 15 - 20, 2026

Apply now until June 1st!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Call for EAVE Producers -  FOCUS ASIA 2026

FOCUS ASIA (April 27-29, 2026) is a unique boutique market within the international co-production landscape, serving as the only initiative exclusively designed for film professionals, decision-makers, and buyers from Asia and Europe. 

Taking place within the Far East Film Festival in Udine, the largest European festival entirely dedicated to popular Asian cinema, FOCUS ASIA aims to establish long-term connections between the Asian film industry and the European audiovisual sector. The event creates opportunities for producers and films to access both Asian and European markets while fostering new artistic and production collaborations.

The programme features a series of complementary initiatives designed to identify alternative investment opportunities (including private investors and equity funds), launch new co-production opportunities, and promote the distribution of films and cultural identity across both areas.

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.

**** Thanks to the partnership between Focus Asia and EAVE, the Festival will offer a free Focus Asia badge and 2 nights' hotel accommodation to the first 5 EAVE producers who will send an email to focusasia@cecudine.org.

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.

Guest experts: EAVE graduate and Company Planning Expert Sophie Erbs (Gaijin, France), EAVE graduate Adria Mones (Fasten Films, Spain) and EAVE graduate Marija Razgute (m-films, Lithuania).

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).

 

EAVE SESSION (January 19)

"Holding the Center: Producer Care and Resilience" – January 19, 17:00

This in-conversation session previews insights from the EAVE Think Tank 2026, examining the often unseen mental and emotional load producers carry as the backbone of screen production. The Think Tank focused on outlining producer-led strategies for care, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

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.

Deadline Extension: EAVE+ 2026

EAVE+ is an intensive five-day workshop event for independent producers with solid track record and international experience who wish to reinforce their managerial and financial capacity to run sustainable production companies and compete on the international market.

Extended deadline for application: February 5th, 2026

Join this compact workshop to get a comprehensive industry update and an insight into the latest business models. EAVE+ offers participating producers the opportunity to discuss their company structures and management practices together with high-profile industry experts during 4,5 days to tackle the business side of running a film company.

Sessions will focus on:

  • Company sustainability and how to reinvent yourself in times of change
  • ‘Transforming companies’: a series of company case studies and inspiring new business models
  • The role of the producer as a leader

Together with top-notch experts, we will dive deep into:

  • cashflow management
  • company strategies
  • negotiation with financiers and partners
  • raising finance from investors
  • how to create viable business models for the future

All producers will work on their individual leadership qualities and resilience in private coaching sessions.

EAVE+ will take place from April 10 - 15, 2026 in Luxembourg.

“I'd been recommended EAVE+ after doing the producer workshops in 2021 and had planned to do it for several years, thinking it could be informative to help improve my business with a new business plan - what I got from it was so much more than that. I now have tools and best practices that will last a lifetime and a structured plan of action to improve our company immediately."

James Heath, 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. Meeting people from all over the world with the same passion for production is very enriching! 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

Applications are open for independent producers with a solid track record and international experience from Europe and the rest of the world. We have extended the deadline to apply until February 5th, 2026. 

The programme is designed for producers who have been running their own company for five years+ and/or who have worked five years+ at senior management level in another company. We strongly recommend that two individuals at senior management level attend from each company. Priority will be given to candidates from one company applying jointly.

EAVE allocates a specific scholarship for European residents and citizens who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Colour. EAVE also offers a limited number of scholarships covering the participation fee (incl. breakfasts and lunches). Priority is given to candidates from LCC countries as defined by Creative Europe (Group A: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Romania. Group B: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the following third countries, subject to the conditions being fulfilled for their participation in the MEDIA strand: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Republic of Serbia, Ukraine).

Thanks to our partnerships, SODEC will offer financial support for one participant from Quebec and Canada Media Fund (CMF) will offer a scholarship for 1-2 participants from one Canadian company owned and controlled by persons from Indigenous, Equity-Deserving and/or Regional communities. To be eligible, the company needs to have a slate of content and have received production funding from the CMF in the past 3 fiscal years.

Eurimages International Co-Production Award for Komplizen Film

Eurimages Co-Production Award

  • The Eurimages Co-Production Award goes to EAVE graduate Jonas Dornbach, Maren Ade and Janine Jackowski. TheTrio of producers Maren Ade, EAVE graduate Jonas Dornbach and Janine Jackowski, of German company Komplizen Film, will be honoured at the 38th European Film Awards with the 2026 Eurimages International Co-Production Award presented by Eurimages and the European Film Academy. The award acknowledges the decisive role of co-productions in fostering international exchange. No fewer than 20 films produced or co-produced by Komplizen Film have been supported by Eurimages, among which The Story of My Wife by Ildikó Enyedi, About Dry Grasses by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Corsage by Marie Kreutzer, and more recently, Sentimental Value by Joachim Trier and Yes by Nadav Lapid. The Berlin-based firm is also a co-founding member of The Creatives, a federation of ten international independent production companies. Maren Ade co-founded Komplizen Film with Janine Jackowski in 1999, with whom she co-produced her graduation film, The Forest for the Trees, in 2003. Her third feature, Toni Erdmann, also supported by Eurimages, became an audience favourite after competing at Cannes, and went on to win awards worldwide, among them four European Film Awards. Maren Ade not only produces her own films, but also serves as a producer on movies by other directors. Janine Jackowski has produced over 60 films and series, many of which have been selected for and awarded at international festivals. Jonas Dornbach began his career by establishing and running his production company Kinoherz from 2002-2009.

European Film Academy Board

EAVE graduate and longtime EAVE Romanian Coordinator Ada Solomon is the new chair of the Board of the European Film Academy. Her new deputy chairs are Dutch EAVE graduate Leontine Petit and French Matthieu Darras. Their two-year mandate will start on 1 January 2026.

"Being part of the European Film Academy board for a decade now, I took the responsibility to promote excellence in filmmaking in all the diversity of the European cinematic voices, but also to put the spotlight on the less visible ones: the smaller territories, the underrepresented forms of cinema, the crews behind the camera. It is a time of change, and I am ready to take the challenge knowing that I am backed up by the great executive team of the Academy and the amazing people in the board of the European Film Academy, and especially the newly elected deputy chairs: Leontine Petit and Matthieu Darras," said Ada Solomon in a statement.

In 2026, the board of EFA also includes EAVE+ graduate Danijel Hocevar (Slovenia), who was re-elected for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia; EAVE+ graduate Giorgos Karnavas (Greece), who was re-elected for Armenia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, and Israel and EAVE and TTB graduate Marija Razgute (Lithuania), who was re-elected for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, among others. EAVE graduate Vanessa Henneman was elected for Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands.

  • THE POSSIBLE LIVES OF MY MOTHER by Jorge Dorado, producer: EAVE graduate Alexandra Hoesdorff is in production. The film is the rediscovery of a woman and, through her, the rediscovery of a whole century’s worth of emotions, silence and memories. In 2011, my mother took the wrong lane when taking a detour on a dual carriageway, and she drove the wrong way for several miles. I got scared, so I took her to various doctors, and they all agreed on the diagnosis: Alzheimer’s, an illness that she had gone to great lengths to hide from me and my siblings. As she couldn’t live alone any more, we had to clear out her house. Among the documents that ended up in my possession were photo albums and a floppy disk with a handwritten label that said: ‘Biography’. “At that moment,” the director said, “I found out that she had led an intense life, full of crossroads, brave decisions and contradictions. At the age of 22, she became a single mother in Paris after fleeing her parents’ house while pregnant, as she led a stifling existence there. During the 1960s and 1970s, she lived through impossible love affairs, political struggles, social changes and a constant yearning for freedom. In Paris and Madrid, she met artists, actors, soldiers and intellectuals who strove to change the world… I never imagined that she could have borne witness to the history of Spain by – sometimes unintentionally – forming part of some of the most important events of that era.” THE POSSIBLE LIVES OF MY MOTHER is a production by Adrià Monés for Fasten Films and Borja Pena for Vaca Films, together with Alexandra Hoesdorff and Desirée Nosbusch for Deal Productions (Luxembourg). It boasts funding from the ICAA, ICEC, Creative Europe – MEDIA and Film Fund Luxembourg, as well as the involvement of RTVE, Movistar Plus+ and Netflix.

  • GOOD MOTHERS by Amalie Næsby Fick, co-producer: EAVE graduate Lizette Jonjic is in production. Set in a quiet, suburban community, the 90-minute drama follows successful real-estate agent Anne Sofie, whose world is upended after the alleged sexual assault of a teenage boy by two peers. When she discovers that her own son may be more deeply involved than she imagined, Anne Sofie becomes determined to protect him and safeguard the family’s reputation. As accusations spread across the town, she finds herself at odds with the other boys’ mothers, Sarah and Ulrikke. Under mounting pressure, she shifts the blame onto one of the other boys – a decision that fractures her relationships and sends her into a moral spiral, ultimately forcing her to make a life-altering choice. GOOD MOTHERS is being produced by Louise Vesth for Zentropa Entertainments ApS in co-production with Zentropa Sweden, and Film i Väst. The film is backed by the Danish Film Institute Market Scheme and the Netherlands Film Fund, and made in co-operation with DR – Danish Broadcasting Corporation, SVT, September Film and Nordisk Film Distribution A/S. The project is also co-funded by the European Union.

  • EACH OF US by Neus Ballus, Anne Zohra Berrached, Anna Jadowska, Stina Werenfels, producer: EAVE graduate Maria Blicharska is in post-production. Filming on Each of Us wrapped at the end of October after four weeks of shooting in Navarre, where the interior sequences were captured, following exterior work in Poland and Germany. This European film project – which is currently in post-production – gives a voice to the forgotten women of the Ravensbrück concentration camp, the only one in Nazi Germany designed exclusively for women. Co-directed by Spain’s Neus Ballús, Germany’s Anne Zohra Berrached, Poland’s Anna Jadowska and Switzerland’s Stina Werenfels the film interweaves four stories of women who, in the midst of horror, find empathy and solidarity to be their form of resistance. Each filmmaker has directed one actress, bringing cultural, linguistic and emotional authenticity to the narrative: said thesps are Diane Kruger (Germany), Carla Juri (Switzerland), Aida Folch (Spain) and Ninel Geiger (Germany). The film, penned by Eva Pauné and Mirjam Ziegler, draws on real testimonies and documented facts to recount a story of empathy as a form of heroism, shining a light on humanity in times of barbarity and female solidarity as resistance. Neus Ballus said: “Beyond the horror, this is a story about humanity, about how a gesture of solidarity can change a life.” For her part, Stina Werenfels affirms: “We wanted to show how women, even those surrounded by sheer hell, were able to care for one another.” In Anna Jadowska’s view, “This film springs from the real testimonies from Ravensbrück. They were the true heroines.” And for Anne Zohra Berrached, “Empathy is our form of heroism.” EACH OF US is being produced by Norbert Llaràs for Spanish outfit Alhena Production, in co-production with Planeta Espectáculo 2025 AIE, Maria Blicharska for Poland’s Blick Productions International, Amir Hamz and Christian Springer for Germany’s Bon Voyage Films, and Anita Wasser and Michael Steiger for Switzerland’s Turnus Film. It boasts the participation of RTVE, 3Cat and ARTE, and is backed by the ICAA, ICEC, Creative Europe - MEDIA, Eurimages, Claims Conference, the Polish Film Institute, the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (BAK) and Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.

  • REVIVAL by Jivan Avetisyan, producer: EAVE graduate Kestutis Drazdauskas is in post-production. Murat Arakelian (27), a brilliant engineering student at the Polytechnic Institute of Marseilles, is developing OR.CH.I.D. (ORganizer of CHaotic Input Data), an innovative AI project, under the supervision of Professor Jean Perbost (65). Poised to compete in a prestigious palliative AI care exhibition organised by the university, the project is on the verge of securing a major investment from Rossun Corporation. But Jean’s hopes are derailed when Murat abandons the project to investigate a haunting mystery surrounding his father’s death. His search takes him to Armenia during a war outbreak, against the backdrop of a global pandemic, prompting OR.CH.I.D.’s evolution into a self-aware AI. OR.CH.I.D. forces Jean to confront a dark truth: Rossun’s entanglement in war crimes. Jean stands at a crossroads:  safeguard his university’s legacy or expose the devastating truth uncovered by OR.CH.I.D. “As the Cypriot producer of this project, I am proud to support a film that carries deep emotional resonance and highlights the global significance of the Artsakh tragedy. Growing up alongside the Armenian community in Cyprus, one of the island’s oldest minorities, showed me how closely our histories and experiences are connected. The film explores universal themes of resilience, loss, and hope, echoing Cyprus’s own collective memory after 1974. By bringing this story on screen, we help preserve voices that might otherwise be forgotten and foster a deeper sense of empathy and understanding. For Cyprus, this collaboration is both a creative partnership and a moral commitment to shared remembrance. The film stands as a powerful testament to how cinema can unite nations with parallel histories”, Cypriot producer Constantinos Nikiforou told FNE. This project has been in the making for the past seven years, and it is produced by LifeTree Pictures LLC (Armenia), Fish eye Art Cultural Foundation (Armenia), Caretta Films (Cyprus), ARTBOX (Lithuania), and Aikštės filmai (Lithuania) with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture – Department of Contemporary Culture – Republic of Cyprus, the Cinema Foundation of Armenia, as well as Armenia’s Ministry of Culture, and in association with ARTsakh Arts and Cultural Foundation (USA), and Background Production (Armenia). The production partner is also Assante & Bimonte Productions (USA). The film was also financed by private investors. A crowdfunding campaign was launched on Kickstarter as well as Indiegogo InDemand. NFTs were also sold as part of the fundraising effort. Additionally, private screenings of the director’s films were held within Diasporan communities worldwide to help raise further funds. The production used the Lithuanian tax incentive.

  • THE WOLF WILL TEAR YOUR IMMACULATE HANDS by Nathalie Alvarez Mesen, co-producers: EAVE graduate Anne-Laure Guegan, PUENTES graduate Géraldine Sprimont is in post-production. Set in the 1880s Pacific Northwest, the plot of the gothic-horror feature centres on a British widower (played by Skarsgård) who hires a Native American governess, raised in a Christian mission school, to educate his two daughters. As she prepares the eldest for an arranged marriage, something within the young woman begins to awaken, calling into question everything she has been taught. The director described the core themes of the film as deeply connected to questions of liberation, heritage and embodiment: “The story discusses how to break free from patriarchal structures and whether you can decolonise your own body – if not for yourself, for the sake of future generations.” THE WOLF WILL TEAR YOUR IMMACULATE HANDS is being produced by Hobab, and is co-produced by Resolve Media (USA), Quiddity Films (UK), Need Productions (Belgium) and Still Vivid (Iceland). The film draws on an extensive patchwork of European and international funding sources, including Film i Väst, SVT, VOO, Be TV, Proximus, Shelter Prod, Northern Ireland Screen, the BFI’s UK Global Screen Fund, Eurimages, Creative Europe, the Swedish Film Institute, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, screen.brussels, the Icelandic Film Centre, the Icelandic Tax Credit and the Nordisk Film & TV Fond.

“Disrupt the Default” - EAVE Interview with Tamara Dawit on Inclusive Production Practices

Tamara Dawit is a producer, EAVE graduate and consultant, and former funding executive with over 20 years of experience designing programmes and developing policies to stabilize and grow the creative sector. Through her company Gobez Media, she produces East African projects that advance narrative sovereignty, ethical collaboration, and diasporic exchange. Her films have screened at Cannes, TIFF, Tribeca, and Hot Docs, and broadcast globally on CBC, MTV, PBS, Al Jazeera, NHK, and ARTE.

EAVE sat down with Tamara to learn about Inclusive Production Practices, a brand-new EAVE training programme to embed equity, inclusion, and ethical practice across the full production lifecycle.

 

EAVE is launching a new on-demand training programme, Inclusive Production Practices, which you co-developed and co-curated with EAVE CEO Kristina Trapp. The workshop builds on the outcomes of the EAVE Impact Think Tanks on equity and inclusion in the production process. How did you conceive this EAVE on Demand?

Tamara Dawit: I’m really excited about this programme! It’s a great opportunity to step back from the traditional way we teach producing, and to look at the production process through a different lens, one that’s grounded in kindness – something that we talked about a lot in the EAVE Think Tanks. The industry is tough, producers often operate in survival mode, focused on keeping their companies afloat. This workshop encourages a shift: thinking not just about your own stability, growth and monetised success, but also that of your co-producers, your writers, and your directors. Are they going to become more stabilised, are they going to become stronger partners for you to work on your next piece of content?

It’s about pausing to reflect on what kind of journey we want toward the end result, whether that’s a film premiere at a festival or a series launch on a streamer or broadcaster. Can we make that journey more considerate, more collaborative? Ultimately, it’s about creating processes where everyone reaches the finish line stronger and more stable than when they started.

For me, those are the background ideas about why we created this programme: to really think with an eye of making everyone successful!

You mentioned stability across the team. How does that connect to inclusivity and long-term collaboration?

Stability across the team is key, in my opinion. Too often, collaborations between producers from high- and low-capacity countries are seen through a charity lens, as if one partner brings money and access, while the other only brings the story, and it is somehow undervalued. But if they work as genuine, equal and long-term partners, the lower-capacity producer gains experience, visibility, credit, and thus stronger access to money for future projects - and that will benefit the high-capacity producer as well. It’s about long-term thinking that benefits everyone.

As regards production practices, last year’s Think Tank report highlighted two crucial areas: development and financing. How will the training reflect these two areas?

In development, it’s about safeguarding stories, ensuring you’re not producing extractive content and that you collaborate respectfully with the communities involved. In financing, it’s about recognising and monetising the value of story and IP development, even when that work wasn’t financed externally. The training will explore these two areas, and it will guide producers through rethinking their projects from development to financing plans and budgets, using a mix of plenary sessions, group discussions, and case studies, much like other EAVE programmes.

What other key principles from the Think Tank inspired this training?

One major idea was to “disrupt the default.” Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it should continue. EAVE has always helped producers build capacities and advocate for themselves and their peers in front of guilds, unions, funders or policy makers. This training extends that: encouraging producers from high-capacity countries to advocate for their lower-capacity partners when needed, if they really want to build content in an inclusive way. I think when we do that extra work, we end up with content where everyone, the whole team is equally valued and equally benefitting, and they leave with a good experience.

Sometimes inclusivity means small but impactful actions. For example, if a director from the Global South is editing in Canada or in Europe, do we budget for a translator or someone from that ethno-cultural community to help bridge differences, to help them communicate effectively with the colourist, the sound editor or the composer? How are we making sure of getting the best content, if we don’t do that? So that’s a very small thing, but it can become a really big thing, if there is a communication breakdown. These details ensure that everyone can contribute fully, leading to better results and healthier collaborations.

What long-term impact do you envision?

I hope it will normalise equitable co-productions, stabilising all partners. When everyone benefits, the global production ecosystem grows more balanced and sustainable. We need to move away from the idea that collaborating with the rest of the world is an act of favour, and having this hierarchy of who is more able to produce or more important on the spectrum. Every partner brings unique value, whether that’s access to a great story, a great location, an authentic community, whatever it is.

Who is the training for, and when should producers apply it in their project timeline?

Important to mention that this isn’t a programme for low-capacity or marginalised producers — it’s for everyone in the industry. It’s about learning how to “play nicer in the sandbox together.” If we want inclusion at the end, we have to plan for it from the very start, and that means valuing access, creativity, and community the same way as valuing money.

It’s primarily for producers, like most EAVE programmes. My recommendation is that this type of workshop works best in development. It’s the ideal time to join because that’s when key decisions about partnerships, financing, and budgeting are still being made. If you are doing this sort of design thinking exercise with your project, then in its initiation and growth phase you will be able to include all of those things, down the road. Participants will apply the learning directly to their projects, using the workshop to address real challenges.

The training can also be valuable for institutions and funders, or it could be part of market offerings. For example, understanding what inclusive production entails, such as why a “cultural authenticity steward” might be a necessary budget line, can help a funder to support projects to be more equitable.

Would European-only producers also benefit from inclusivity training?

Absolutely. These principles apply everywhere. For example, within Europe there can be imbalances between experienced producers and first-time directors, or established and emerging co-producers. Often, we see things that come up with crediting, like someone will bring me on as an emerging producer and they will credit me as associate producer, but that credit will not enable me to access the funding on my own next time. The workshop encourages producers to design collaborations that build everyone’s career stability.

We often worry about the idea of scarcity, such as limited funding, limited sales companies, limited slots at A-list festivals, but I think that as producers grow and companies stabilise, this also develops more distribution companies, and more markets in other parts of the world, as well as new sources of revenues. As public funding declines, we need to have new ways to collaborate, to think differently on how to approach and monetise things, because it may enable us to have a wider reach and better outcome.

15 Filmmakers Gather at Creative Producer Indaba to explore African Film Content Creation

Fifteen filmmakers from around the globe, who have a focus on African film and television content have gathered for the fifth edition of Creative Producer Indaba, the prestigious audiovisual producers’ professional development programme that strengthens the entrepreneurial and leadership skills of a new cohort of media leaders and builders.

This acclaimed programme is created and designed by Cape Town-based media house, Realness Institute, in partnership with EAVE, the Indian Ocean International Film Festival (FIFOI) and Maison du Cinéma et des Jeux Vidéo, with the financial support of Region Réunion. The programme is also supported by the Brazilian Foundation Projeto Paradiso, Canada Media Fund, Telefilm Canada, the Swiss Foundation for professional training in cinema and audiovisual media (FOCAL), the Austrian Film Institute, the French National Centre of Cinema (CNC), and Institut français Creation Africa.

It kicked off with an online Opening Assembly (12 November) with Guest Speaker Ivana Kirkbride, Media and Tech Executive and current NorthStar Media Group Co-Founder, who led a discussion on "Leadership".

The cohort includes:

African/Indian Ocean Producers with a project:

  • Ique Langa (Mozambique)
  • Lova Nantenaina (Réunion/Madagascar)
  • Wame Merafhe (Botswana)
  • Yasmin Hassan (Kenya)
  • Shveta Naidoo (South Africa)

African/Indian Ocean Producers interested in professional development:

  • Xolani Nhlapho (South Africa)
  • David Franciscus (South Africa)
  • Mahelet Gezachew (Ethiopia/USA)
  • Iman Djionne (Senegal)
  • Linda Qibaa (Morocco/France)

International Producers collaborating with African/Indian Ocean Producers:

  • Mo Harawe (Austria/Somalia)
  • Stefan Eichenberger (Switzerland)
  • Soko Negash (Canada)
  • Aswathi Naduthodi (India)
  • Talita Arruda (Brazil)

The current online sessions for the programme includes a Story Masterclass with Story Expert Tracey-Lee Rainers, award winning entrepreneur and international story practitioner, with Story Oasis (Johannesburg); an International Sales Masterclass with Julien Razafindranaly, film sales executive and Head of Sales at Films Boutique, as well as Alicia Petrusa, Media and Entertainment Senior Relationship Manager at Royal Bank of Canada, to discuss corporate strategy, cash flow, and private equity financing.

This introductory session is followed by an in-person workshop in February next year in Johannesburg, where participants will have sessions on financing, PR and marketing, and project development. The cohort will then move to Saint-Paul, Réunion, during the International Indian Ocean Film Festival (FIFOI), in April 2026, where the workshops will focus on legal, organisational development, network management and leadership.

In production

  • ZERO K by Michael Almereyda, producer: EAVE graduate Giorgos Karnavas is in production. The film follows a young man pulled into the dealings of his tech-billionaire father, who intends to use his wealth and capabilities to find a way to extend and enhance human life. In Don DeLillo’s novel, a New York Times bestseller, his father is specifically drawn towards this in light of his wife’s terminal illness, and he seeks to achieve immortality for the two of them via cryopreservation. Almereyda is a US filmmaker known for the Ethan Hawke-led 2020 Tesla biopic; his 2000 Hamlet adaptation, also starring Hawke; and Experimenter, his 2015 drama about the infamous Milgram experiment. The film will be the fourth collaboration between Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira on the production side. Almereyda has previously worked with Sarsgaard for Experimenter and DoP Sean Price Williams for two of his previous films, Marjorie Prime and Tesla. Zero K will be produced by Anthony Katagas for New York-based Keep Your Head, Rodrigo Teixeira for São Paulo-based RT Features, Renée Frigo and Giorgos Karnavas for Athens-based Heretic, and Almereyda. RT Features is a top Brazilian production house known for a wide variety of hits of all genres.

  • MILA/MARIJA by Andrina Mracnikar, producer: EAVE + graduates Danijel Hocevar and Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu is currently shooting. Inspired by her own family history, the film will be the first feature to focus on the resistance of the Carinthian Slovenians against the Nazi dictatorship, and the first to depict Austria’s resistance movement during World War II. It also marks the first live-action co-production between Slovenia and Austria. Set in 1943 in a mountain village in Carinthia, the story follows 19-year-old Mila, who joins the Partisans alongside her brother Hanzi to fight the Nazis from the forests. As she rises to lead a resistance unit, Mila faces life-or-death decisions. When she returns home after the liberation, she must once again confront the crucial question: submission or resistance? Mracnikar, born in Austria and raised in Ljubljana and Carinthia, stated: “With MILA/MARIJA, I wish to make the first feature dedicated to the history of the Slovenian national community and the resistance of the Carinthian Partisans against Nazism. The project is also important to me personally, as the story of the Carinthian Slovenians and the anti-fascist resistance is part of my family history. My goal is to create films with a clear stance that ask crucial questions and are simultaneously emotionally powerful, formally consistent and courageous.” The Slovenian-Austrian-Greek co-production is staged by Danijel Hocevar and Katja Lenarcic for Ljubljana-based Vertigo, and Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu and Bady Minck for Vienna-based Amour Fou, in co-production with Ioanna Davi for Chania-based Indigo View and Austria’s Ruth Beckermann Filmproduktion. It is being made in collaboration with Austrian pubcaster ORF (under the Film/Television Agreement) and RTV Slovenija, and in cooperation with Viba Film Studio. The film is supported by the Austrian Film Institute (ÖFI and ÖFI+), the Slovenian Film Centre, the Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center, the Slovak Audiovisual Fund – Tax Rebate, the Vienna Film Fund, the Carinthia Film Commission and the Future Fund of the Republic of Austria. The movie is expected to be released in cinemas in both Austria and Slovenia next year.

  • LASTIMA by Mario Piredda, producers: EAVE graduates Anamaria Antoci, Anda Ionescu is in production. According to the synopsis for Làstima (which means “sin” or “shame” in the Sardinian dialect), “Vera, a forty-year-old woman of Romanian origin, suddenly finds herself out of work and having to drive an incredibly young Nigerian girl called Kali across sun-scorched Sardinia: a straightforward ‘task’ turns into a life-long journey”. Piredda describes his film as “a modern-day story where no-one wins or loses: the characters put themselves in each other’s shoes. […] The film unfolds between two cities and their respective peripheries, in the countryside of my homeland, Sardinia, where Sardinians and children of Sardinians have to open themselves up to others. That’s the way we are: we hide our feelings and put on a show of strength because we don’t like letting people in too soon, but then, once we’ve calmed down, we open up our hearts. Vera and Kali represent “the other.” Two women who are poles apart and who meet by chance, by way of one of the many violent and vulgar men they’ve met in their lives. It’s because of or thanks to him that they begin their roaming journey: on trains, in coaches and makeshift cars, and crossing the island on foot, an island which keeps people within its confines, especially those who have only just arrived and who see it as a foreign land”. Ivan Olgiati and Chiara Galloni produced the film on behalf of Articolture as well as Mark Olexa for Swiss firm DOK Mobile, alongside RSI Radiotelevisione Svizzera, in collaboration with Romania’s Tangaj Productions via Anamaria Antoci, Anda Ionescu and Ana Voicu. Support comes from Creative MEDIA Europe, the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Swiss Federal Bureau, the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, the Sardegna Film Commission and Cinéforom.

  • ANY OTHER NIGHT by Michiel ten Horn, producer: EAVE graduate Leontine Petit and PUENTES graduate Fred Burle is in post-production. Shot earlier this year in Berlin, the film unfolds over the course of a single night. Maggie, recently abandoned and caught in emotional free fall, while Sam, a former musician is now driving a taxi. What begins as an ordinary late-night ride gradually becomes a prolonged, wayward journey across the city, compelling both characters to confront personal failures and lingering disappointments. Speaking about the project, ten Horn notes that the film examines what follows once youthful aspirations have dimmed: “ANY OTHER NIGHT explores what happens after you’ve chased your big dreams and realised this isn’t ‘it’. Life isn’t a romcom; it’s far more complicated. Yet sometimes, one special encounter can shift your perspective.” The film is being produced by Lithium Studios (Canada), One Two Films (Germany), Lemming Film (Netherlands) and Film Forge (Canada).

  • BLACK WATER by Aga Woszczynska, producers: EAVE graduates Liisa Karpo, Tanja Georgieva-Waldhauer and Elina Litvinova is in post-production. Aga Woszczynska, one of the most interesting voices in Polish arthouse cinema, has wrapped shooting on the Åland archipelago, an autonomous region of Finland. In her second outing, she continues to pursue her artistic interest: the study of a couple facing their inner fears and re-examining their relationship after an unexpected event. In BLACK WATER it will be the mysterious disappearance of two men. Their partners commence an investigation of their own, as the local police are preoccupied with an oil spill from a tanker in the vicinity of the island. “BLACK WATER is a story about balance in a world that is off-balance. The environmental catastrophe mirrors an inner collapse, pushing my characters to abandon the illusion of control and to embrace uncertainty as the only way forward. In its mystery and stillness, I want the film to reflect the fragility and hope of our times,” Woszczynska said. The film is being co-produced by Liisa Karpo, of Finland’s napafilms; Tanja Georgieva-Waldhauer, of Germany’s Elemag Pictures; Elina Litvinova, of Estonia’s Three Brothers; and Eva Jakobsen, of Denmark’s Mater Pictures. The project received support from Creative Europe – MEDIA, the Polish Film Institute, the Finnish Film Foundation, the Estonian Film Institute and the Danish Film Institute, as well as regional funds from the Åland Islands, the MDM (Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung), FilmFyn and the Film Estonia cash-rebate scheme.

Kicking off: AI Workshop for Producers in Udine

EAVE is organising, in partnership with the Zeroidee APS, an immersive EAVE on Demand workshop for independent audiovisual producers and professionals wishing to integrate AI as a key tool in their professional practice.

The objective is to understand what AI is (and isn’t); how it fits into modern production workflows; how to use it to build your own storyboard and animatic from your script; how it can reduce time, cost, and risk across the production business.

The topics addressed include an overview of available creative tools, legal and ethical considerations, AI as a tool for film business workflows, as well as hands-on exercises.

The tutors of the workshop include Aleksi Hyvärinen (Don Films, FI) and Anssi Komulainen (Finnish Innovation Fund, FI). Both are part of the Alchemist Collective, a Helsinki-based innovation studio reshaping filmmaking through artificial intelligence.

  • EAVE project SERAFIMA by Veiko Ounpuu, producers: EAVE graduates Andreas Kask and Esko Rips is in production. The film promises to be “a powerful adaptation of Vahur Afanasjev’s celebrated novel Serafima and Bogdan, a sweeping story of power, love, and betrayal set against the backdrop of turbulent historical change.” Õunpuu described SERAFIMA as “an exploration of how systems of power rewrite our memories, suppress resistance, and traumatise entire nations.” He added: “Serafima is a victim of the system – in a world where those who preserve their humanity are punished, while authority favours and rewards those who have completely lost their moral compass.” Producer Andreas Kask highlighted the film’s transnational spirit: “Serafima is a brilliant example of a unified Estonian-Latvian-Polish film space. The creative team is mainly Estonian, but Latvia provides the environment and technical capacities needed to bring this story to life. The screenplay was penned by Õunpuu himself with Martin Algus. The film is produced by Nafta Films in co-production with Nafta Films Latvia, Poland’s Orka Film and Estonia’s Apollo Film Productions. Producing are Kask and Esko Rips, working alongside co-producers Alicja Gancarz for Orka Film, Gunda Bergmane for Nafta Films Latvia, and Tanel Tatter and Veiko Esken for Apollo Film Productions. The production is backed by the Estonian Film Institute, the Estonian Cultural Endowment, Creative Europe – MEDIA, ERR, the Polish Film Institute, the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia, and the Riga Film Fund.

  • LET LOVE IN by Felix van Groeningen, producers: EAVE graduate Hans Everaert and EAVE FFF graduate Lorenzo Gangarossa is in production. The film tells the story of one couple’s emotional journey as they question everything they once took for granted when a long-kept affair is confessed. But what looks like a tale of a relationship in crisis reveals itself as a story of healing and reconnection. A quest begins for honesty, true intimacy and deep understanding, redefining what it means to be lovers. LET LOVE IN is a Belgian-Italian co-production staged by Hans Everaert for Antwerp-based Menuetto, and van Groeningen and Vandermeersch for their company, Rufus, in co-production with Mario Gianani, Lorenzo Mieli and Lorenzo Gangarossa for Mediawan-owned OUR Films, with Circle One serving as a collaborator. Financing comes from the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF), Kinepolis Film Distribution (KFD), Proximus, VRT and the Belgian Tax Shelter, in cooperation with BNP Paribas Fortis Film Finance and Casa Kafka Pictures. The shoot, spanning 35 days, is taking place across several Belgian locations and is now entering its final stages.

  • EROSION by Michael Koch, producer: EAVE+ graduate Christof Neracher has begun principal photography on his third feature, a drama about personal collapse and spiritual reckoning. The drama follows Christian Andersen, a renowned US neurosurgeon whose life unravels after a tragic incident. Grappling with guilt and denial, he suffers a devastating personal blow when his own daughter goes missing. Determined to find her, he sets out on a journey into a primeval mountain world and into the depths of his own inner self. Peter Sarsgaard plays the lead role, marking a rare Swiss-German co-production with a US star in the central part. As in his A PIECE OF SKY, Koch has also cast local non-professional performers to embody the rural characters inhabiting the Alpine setting. Filming is currently under way in the Swiss canton of Uri. Shooting in Switzerland and Germany will continue until mid-November 2025. EROSION is a Swiss-German co-production, staged by Christof Neracher for Zurich-based Hugofilm Features in co-production with Christoph Friedel and Claudia Steffen for Cologne-based Pandora Filmproduktion, SRF, SRG SSR and ARTE. The film is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (BAK), the Zurich Film Foundation, the Basel Film Fund, the Central Switzerland Film Fund, Suissimage, the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF) and WDR.

  • MILA/MARIJA by Andrina Mracnikar, producers: EAVE+ graduates Danijel Hocevar, Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu and EAVE graduate Katja Lenarcic has started shooting. The Slovenian/Austrian/Greek drama is set in a mountain village in Carinthia, 1943. Nineteen-year-old Mila and her brother Hanzi join the partisan resistance group fighting the Nazi occupation of the land from the relative safety of the forests. Soon she finds herself leading her own unit and having to make decisions about life and death. But when the country has been liberated and she embarks upon a new life, Mila once again, has to confront the crucial question: submission or resistance? “My aim with Mila/Marija is to make the first feature film depicting the history of the Slovenian ethnic group and the resistance of the Carinthian partisans to the Nazi regime. It is also an extremely important project for me personally, because the history of the Carinthian Slovenes and the anti-fascist resistance is part of my own family background,” says director and writer Andrina Mracnikar in a statement. MILA/MARIJA is produced by Danijel Hocevar and Katja Lenarcic through Vertigo and Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu and Bady Minck through Amour Fou (Austria) in co-production with Ioanna Davi through Indigo View (Greece) and Ruth Beckermann Filmproduktion (Austria), in collaboration with Austrian national television’s ORF Film/Television Agreement and RTV Slovenija, and in association with FS Viba Film. The project is supported by the Austrian Film Institute, Slovenian Film Centre, Filmfonds Wien, Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center, the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, Carinthia Film Commission and Future Fund of the Republic of Austria. The 29-day shooting started on 7 October 2025 and it will end mid-November 2025. The shooting is taking place in Globasnica and the surrounding forests in Carinthia, as well as in other towns, villages and forests in Slovenia, and also in Austria within the Carinthia region.

  • REMAINS OF LIFE by Sevda Shishmanova, producer: EAVE graduate Veselka Kiryakova, co-producer: EAVE+ graduate Harry Flöter is shooting. The film is based on the true story of the 2012 Burgas Airport bombing, which killed a Bulgarian bus driver of Muslim origin, five Israeli tourists, and a Lebanese suicide attacker. Set against the aftermath of the attack, the narrative follows a forensic photographer tasked with documenting the scene, while also unfolding through the final days of the victims (including the assassin), weaving together intimate portraits that reveal the human cost of violence. The script penned by Sevda Shishmanova and Milena Petrova is grounded in extensive research, including interviews with the victims’ families, surviving passengers, investigators, as well as witness records, forensic photography, and archival footage. “The question I keep getting asked is how I am going to shoot and screen this film, given the extreme sensitivity in the world that divides people, after the massacre of 7 October 2023 done by Hamas, and the unbearable pain of Gaza after Israel's military response. It is extremely difficult. As a director with a journalistic background, I witness how the politicians have finally lost their greatest ally - the people and the battle for humanism. However, the creators have a mission to see it through to the end - with our last remaining empathy. We have a duty to society, a debt to our viewers, to tell the stories of what is common in pain to all of us: respect for life. The characters in our film also go through this only path that humanity has: to see the pain of others”, Sevda Shishmanova said. “This film offers a deeply personal and humanising perspective on the victims of terrorism, emphasising how individuals are often caught in the crossfire of larger political and geopolitical conflicts. In a polarised and unsettled global landscape, the story aims to foster empathy and understanding by highlighting the personal toll of violence, illustrating that behind every headline are real people whose lives are profoundly affected”, producer Veselka Kiryakova said. Asked about the difficulties of the production, Kiryakova added: “The main challenges in producing this film stem from the current situation in Israel. It significantly affects our ability to secure financing. Additionally, the ongoing conflict creates logistical and safety concerns, complicating shooting schedules and location access. Despite these obstacles, our commitment remains to tell this story with authenticity and compassion, believing that it can contribute meaningfully to the international dialogue.” REMAINS OF LIFE is produced by Veselka Kiryakova of Bulgarian Red Carpet and Georgi Skerlev of Bulgarian Mindstream productions in co-production with Harry Flöter of German 2Pilots Filmproduction GmbH. The filming of this Bulgarian/German joint is taking place in Bulgaria and Israel.

  • ONE MONTH by Janez Burger, producers: EAVE graduates Miha Cernec, Nina Robnik is in production. The intimate drama follows three characters on the margins of society: an unemployed female intellectual, a pregnant girl from a dysfunctional family, and a gay man who grew up as an orphan. Housing hardship forces them to share a home and to navigate a tense yet caring coexistence that explores what family means in a time of precarious work conditions and social struggles. “In a world where geo-strategic relations and social tensions verge on desperation, this film adopts a lighter tone while exploring whether human coexistence is still possible and how much effort it requires to achieve it,” says Janez Burger, who co-wrote the script together with Croatian screenwriter and director Ognjen Svilicic. ONE MONTH is produced by Nina Robnik and Miha Černec through Staragara, in coproduction with Propeler Film (Croatia) and Staragara I.T. (Italy). The project was supported by the Slovenian Film Centre, RTV Slovenija and FS Viba Film, while Creative Europa - MEDIA gave it support for development. The 33-days shooting of this Slovenian/Croatian/Italian co-production is taking place in Ljubljana, Kamnik, Solkan and at the FS Viba Film studio.

  • THE HIVE by Martin Rosete, producer: EAVE+ graduate Jonas Katzenstein is in post-production. The plot - penned by Gabriel Dowrick, George Nicholis, Ben Phelps and Gemma Ventura - takes viewers inside the Hive, a high-tech counter-terrorism unit tasked with neutralising threats. With a political summit about to be held in Tenerife, Commander Kate McKenzie (played by Franka Potente), known for her ruthless, no-nonsense methods, needs an insider with knowledge of a dangerous terrorist group posing a constant risk. Undercover agent María Gómez (Sophie Cookson) arrives at the Hive on the eve of the summit, just as a bomb explodes in the city centre, accompanied by a warning: a senior UN executive will be killed in 90 minutes. McKenzie then mobilises her elite team: the hunt has begun, and María may prove pivotal. Shot in July and August, the film is currently in post-production, with its release date to be confirmed. Various Tenerife locations play a key role, including the metropolitan area of Santa Cruz, the Faculty of Fine Arts in La Laguna, the natural landscape of La Esperanza and the former Tabacalera in Santa Cruz, which doubles as the story’s operations centre. After filming on the island, production moved to Cologne (Germany) to wrap the shoot. THE HIVE is being produced by Maximilian Leo, Scott Veltri, Jack Heller, Georgia Poivre and Jonas Katzenstein for Germany’s augenschein Filmproduktion and by Sebastián Álvarez for Volcano Films, in association with Tower Way, Assemble Media and ZDF. The project is supported by Film und Medienstiftung NRW and the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF).

  • ATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE (WT) by Paul Negoescu, producer: EAVE graduate and Romanian National Coordinator Radu Stancu and EAVE graduate Ioana Lascar is in post-production. The screenplay follows Filip, a ten-year-old boy living in a remote village. As the first day of school approaches, Filip has to travel to the nearby town to get the shoes he will wear for the entirety of the next year. Unfortunately, the kid is given the wrong pair, and he will find himself using a plethora of inventive ways to get the right shoes, as without them, the school year would be ruined. The project has recently wrapped production and is now in the editing room. It is being produced by Radu Stancu and Ioana Lascar through deFilm (Romania) and by Poli Angelova through Screening Emotions (Bulgaria). Support came from the Romanian National Film Center Eurimages and the Bulgarian National Film Center. The film was shot over one month in August and September in various towns and on the outskirts of Bucharest. Producer Radu Stancu said that ATLAS OF THE UNIVERSE (WT) was the second feature of his career featuring a child “in almost every frame” and that as many as six child actors made their debut on this occasion. He said the finished movie will cater for young audiences and families. “I think we can positively influence children's perception of the world, stimulating their interest in culture, and whetting their appetite for authentic and contemporary European films with a strong artistic identity and relevant stories.”

  • FIVE DAYS AT THE SEA by Ivana Škrabalo, producers: EAVE graduates Miljenka Cogelja and Jelena Angelovski, co-producer: EAVE graduate Jerca Jeric is currently in post-production. The plot: Masa arrives on an island with her boyfriend, where her longtime friend Jagoda has recently moved in with a new partner. Maša is pregnant but keeps this a secret from her boyfriend, confiding only in her friend. What was meant to be a carefree summer getaway turns into a test of a life stage in which each character is pushed out of their own comfort zone. “FIVE DAYS AT THE SEA is a true summer film set on a remote Adriatic island off the Croatian coast. The story follows two couples as they awkwardly navigate the trials of late coming-of-age. Their conversations teeter on the edge of the absurd, much like the situations they stumble into on this seemingly idyllic getaway. What should be a relaxed short holiday slowly turns into a testing ground for relationships and personal uncertainties”, Croatian producer Tena Gojic said. Tena Gojic is producing through Croatia’s Dinaridi Film in collaboration with Miljenka Čogelja Pipser (Croatia), in co-production with Jerca and Andraz Jeric through Slovenia’s Temporama, Ivana Shekutkoska through North Macedonia’s Minimal Collective, and Jelena Angelovski through Serbia’s Obol Film. The Croatian Audiovisual Centre, the Croatian national broadcaster (HRT), the Slovenian Film Centre (SFC), the North Macedonian Film Agency (FASM), and TZ Sali are backing the project. The film was shot from 15 May to 10 June 2025 in Dugi otok, Croatia, and will be completed in the spring of 2026.

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 2026.

The selected projects in the fifth 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. 

CHANGE - Co-production training course will open in Chisinau, Moldova in November 2025 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 2026, again in Chisinau, Moldova. The programme will culminate in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2026 with a third workshop hosted by the National Film School of Denmark and the presentation of the projects to the international industry during CPH:DOX.

The selected projects are:

  • 3 DAUGHTERS, prod. & dir. Ana Gherciu, Moldova

THE PARTNERSHIP BEHIND CHANGE

CHANGE is initiated and funded by IMS (International Media Support) 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.

We wish to also thank the National Film School of Denmark and Millennium Docs Against Gravity for their collaboration.

In production

  • LE FAUX SOIR by Michael R Roskam, producer: EAVE+ graduate Jean-Yves Roubin is in production. The film looks back on one of the most audacious acts of resistance in Belgium during the Second World War: the publication of a fake edition of the newspaper Le Soir, a satirical pastiche which openly ridiculed the Nazi occupiers. It’s a historical subject, but it’s more topical than ever given that freedom of expression, the independence of the press and the flood of fake news are currently on many people’s minds. "During the Nazi invasion of Belgium, on 10 May 1940 the press was shut down and placed under occupier control. In Brussels, this impacted the most-read paper in the country, Le Soir. Its young owner, Marie-Thérèse Rossel, refused to work under German censorship and went into exile with her family in France. Hijacked by the Nazis, Le Soir became a propaganda tool for Hitler and the Gestapo. The film follows in the footsteps of a group of resistance fighters who risked their lives to carry out one of the most courageous acts in the history of the underground press," explained the director. Shooting kicked off on 23 September and will continue until 10 December, primarily in Brussels but also in Ghent and Mons, with some shooting taking place in France. LE FAUX SOIR is being produced by Cassandre Warnauts and Jean-Yves Roubin on behalf of Frakas Productions (Belgium), in co-production with Rectangle Productions/Goodfellas (Alice Girard and Vincent Maraval) and Harbor Men Pictures (belonging to Michaël R Roskam), in association with Anonymous Federation and Rossel (Bernard Marchant). The feature is co-produced by RTL, Proximus, BeTV and Orange. It enjoys support from the Wallonia Brussels Federation Film and Audiovisual Centre, the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds, Eurimages, the Brussels-Capitale region, Wallimage, Screen Flanders, and Tax Shelter.

  • COWGIRL by Michal Blasko, producer: EAVE graduate Jakub Viktorin has almost completed the shooting. The film tells the story of 14-year-old Barbora, a teenager devoted to horseback riding, who is raised by her widowed father, a respected local police officer. Barbora is immersed in the world of so-called horse cutting, a sport inspired by the Western tradition, and shares a deep bond with her horse, Indy. This sport is not just a leisure activity but a way of life shaped by discipline, care, and emotional connection. “The production started on 24 July 2025 and it’s almost completed. Two extra days of shooting are planned in September, but we already started the editing in Budapest. We would like to add that the story itself unfolds against the backdrop of the beautiful Liptov nature, which in the film almost appears as another character,” producer Jakub Viktorín said. Viktorín is producing through Slovakia’s nutprodukcia in co-production with Tomas Hruby through nutprodukce (Czech Republic) and Gabor Osvath through Hungary’s Filmfabriq. The movie is backed by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, Creative Europe - MEDIA, the Czech Film Fund, and the National Film Institute – Hungary.

In post-production

  • UNTIL THE DAY ENDS by Jelena Maksimovi, producers: EAVE graduates Jelena Angelovski, Miha Cernec and EAVE graduate and Slovenian National Coordinator Jozko Rutar is in post-production. The story unfolds over the course of a single summer night. Lena, a 20-year-old escaping an oppressive family environment, encounters Stefan, two years her senior, who shares her desire for acceptance and freedom. Drawn into the pulse of the city, they navigate waves of unrest. As protests erupt, they join demonstrations fuelled by the unstoppable dissatisfaction of the people. One night. Two lost souls. A city on fire. The Serbian-Bulgarian-Montenegrin-Slovenian co-production is staged by Jelena Angelovski, of Belgrade-based Taurunum Film, in co-production with Nikolay Mutafchiev for PREMIERstudio, Dusan Kasalica and Ivan Salatić for Meander Film, and Miha Černec and Jozko Rutar for Staragara. The film is supported by Film Center Serbia, the Bulgarian National Film Center, the Slovenian Film Centre and Creative Europe – MEDIA.

  • WHO ARE WE by Miroslav Terzic, producer: EAVE graduate Snezana van Houwelingen, co-producers: EAVE graduates Ankica Juric Tilic and Paul Thiltges is in post-production. The film explores the world of teenagers and the dynamics of peer violence. During a school trip, second-year high school students, collectively responsible for the bullying of their classmate Andrija, who committed suicide, must face the consequences of their actions. “In one way or another, all of us have encountered this topic during our childhood, whether directly or indirectly. For me, it became clear that it was time to make a film about it. Still, the story goes beyond the boundaries of a classroom or the frame of peer violence. As we all witness daily, we live in a profoundly violent society. What happens to our children is not an isolated phenomenon, it is a reflection of the reality we all share”, Miroslav Terzic said. The film is produced by Snežana van Houwelingen and Branislav Trifunovic of Serbia’s This and That Productions in co-production with Luxembourg’s Paul Thiltges Distribution, Italy’s Nightswim, Bulgaria’s Invictus, and Croatia’s Kinorama. Film Center Serbia, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, the Luxembourg Film Fund, MIC Italian Ministry of Culture, the Bulgarian National Film Center, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, and Creative Europe –MEDIA are backing the project.

  • EAVE project PETTY THIEVES by Mate Ugrin, co-producers: EAVE graduates Julia Cöllen, Jelena Angelovski is currently in post-production. Rio, a quiet young man from a village in central Istria in Croatia, makes a living as a kitchen helper in a hotel resort on the Adriatic coast, committing occasional petty thefts from tourists. He takes care of his elderly grandparents and clashes with his grandmother on how to best take care of his grandfather, who suffers from dementia. After long shifts at work, he visits cruising hotspots but is cautious and reserved. One evening, Andrea, a seasonal beauty salon worker in the same resort, notices Rio stealing at the beach. She suggests joining forces and stealing from her wealthy customers in the hotel, sharing the profits. As the two spend time breaking into hotel rooms and villas looking for jewellery and money, they form an emotional bond and Rio begins to open up. But it isn’t long before Andrea is caught and gets fired from the resort, deciding to leave for Germany. The film is produced by Croatia’s Kadromat and co-produced by In the Cut (France), Fünferfilm (Germany) and Nanslafu films (Serbia), with the support of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, CNC - Aide aux cinémas du monde, Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, ARTE/Cofinova, MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein, and Creative Europe- MEDIA. The producers are Daria Blazevic and Mate Ugrin from Croatia. Tiphaine Robion from France, Julia Cöllen, Karsten Krause and Frank Scheuffele from Germany and Jelena Angelovski from Serbia are the co-producers.

EAVE and the CMF launch report on inclusive production practices

EAVE and the Canada Media Fund (CMF) today announced the Canadian launch of the 2025 EAVE IMPACT Think Tank Report on Inclusive Co-Production, a bold new framework to transform international co-production models through equity, transparency, and narrative sovereignty. 

The Canadian launch coincides with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where the report will be at the centre of a special panel on September 6 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. at Glenn Gould Studio B. The panel, titled Perspectives: Building Inclusive and Collaborative Productions, will feature Canadian and international experts discussing insights gleaned from the report and how they can be applied across the audiovisual sector. Moderated by Tamara Dawit of Gobez Media, the panel is comprised of Ama Ampadu (British Film Institute), Jennifer Podemski (Redcloud Studios Inc./Shine Network Institute), and Karen Harnisch (Film Forge). 

READ THE 2025 EAVE THINK TANK REPORT 

Developed through a global, multi-partner think tank facilitated by EAVE in partnership with When East Meets West, and supported by the CMF, Telefilm Canada, and the International Emerging Film Talent Association, the report responds to an urgent need to address systemic barriers in the co-production ecosystem. 

“International co-productions have long been a tool for collaboration, but too often they replicate inequitable systems and silence the very voices they aim to amplify,” said Kristina Trapp, CEO, EAVE. “With this report, we offer not just a critique—but a roadmap—for producers committed to co-creating a truly inclusive and globally representative screen industry. At EAVE, we believe this work is essential to the future of international storytelling.” 

“Building a truly inclusive global screen industry demands more than goodwill—it requires frameworks for action,” said Joy Loewen, VP of Growth and Inclusion at the CMF. “This report is a powerful step forward, offering guiding principles and tangible tools that can reshape how we collaborate across borders, cultures, and communities to bring stories to life. The CMF is honoured to support this important work, and we are grateful for the strong partnerships that made it possible.” 

Practical tools and strategies highlighted in the report include: 

  • Story development: Engaging local communities in early narrative design and embedding cultural consultants to ensure authenticity in cross-border stories. 
  • Financing and contracts: Introducing shared risk/reward models, transparent budgeting practices, and contract templates that protect the rights of underrepresented producers. 
  • Production practices: Setting up inclusive crew recruitment guidelines, mandatory codes of conduct on set, and wellbeing measures such as capped working hours and access to support services. 
  • Post-production: Establishing cultural review checkpoints during editing and creating processes to safeguard narrative sovereignty for Indigenous, Black, and racialized creators.  
  • Distribution and exhibition: Coordinating festival premieres and release windows to give equal visibility to all producing partners, while developing equitable revenue-sharing across territories.
