B’EST EAVE ends with an award ceremony in Cannes

.

The B'EST EAVE 2015 Producers Workshop ends today with the best project award announced at the Baltic Event reception in Cannes. The 12 000 Euros of development support is granted by the P.O.V. Film Development Fund. The award goes to producer Maxim Dashkin's (Russia) project THE LONGEST BIRTHDAY.

B'EST EAVE Producers Workshop, which took place in St Petersburg, Russia, in September, and during Baltic Event in Tallinn, Estonia, in November, ran for the 4th time in 2015.

Organised in collaboration with the training programme EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs) and CTB Film Company (Russia), and supported by Creative Europe MEDIA Programme and Indigo Hotel St Petersburg, it is an initiative designed specifically for co-production projects between the European Union and the CIS countries, Georgia and Ukraine. Eight projects and four participants without projects were presented in its 2015 edition. 

 B'EST EAVE will discontinue in 2016, but negotiations with potential partners in the CIS countries will hopefully result in a comeback in the coming years.
