British Council Scholarship For EAVE European Producers Workshop 2015
The British Council will offer a new scholarship for one Palestinian participant for EAVE’s European Producers Workshop 2015
The scholarship will cover a student's participation fee with a project (feature or documentary) for the workshop, the accommodation fees and part of the travel costs.
Alan Smart, Director of the British Council Palestine said: "The British Council is delighted to be working with EAVE on this further exciting expansion of our work together in Palestine. This builds on excellent work already undertaken between our two organisations and outstanding Palestinian scriptwriters and producers. There is a wealth of talent in Palestine and the creative interaction between the UK and Palestinian artists will I’m sure produce fascinating and relevant works."
EAVE is a leading training and development providers for producers in Europe, renowned for its European Producers Workshop.
Who is the European Producers Workshop for?
EAVE is aimed at producers, both fiction and documentary, who are already working in the film and television industries who wish to begin to operate on a European wide basis by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and beyond, by building up a pan European professional network. EAVE welcomes applications from associated branches of the industry – e.g. commissioning, funding, legal and finance, festivals & markets, media administration. Each year, 50 participants are selected from most of the EU countries and beyond and partake in three one-week workshops.
Timeline: interviews with a pre-selection of candidates in autumn 2014; selection is announced in December 2014; in 2015 three workshops take place March 9-16 in Luxembourg; June in Belgium; and October/November in Strasbourg. The applications deadline is 19 September 2014.
