Press release

After a successful first workshop in September in Valparaiso, EAVE will organise the second workshop for Chilean professionals in 2015, from November 29 - December 3, in collaboration with the Training and Networks Program.

Training and Networks is part of the Industry of Viña del Mar´s International Film Festival. The program seeks to encourage the development of audiovisual contents under a business dynamic in the Chilean industry. Following a successful first edition in 2014, 2 workshops were organized in 2015 with renowned industry experts from the European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs Workshop (EAVE) Program and from the United States.

10 fiction feature projects from upcoming Chilean talents have been selected for participation with their respective creative teams (directors, producers and scriptwriters) for this year's course.

The main objective is to promote skills and competences of producers, directors and scriptwriters in order to improve their audiovisual project’s artistic contents and business dynamics. The intention is to link the participants with national and international organizations for financing and distribution and to develop potential alliances and co-productions and to give an overview of the international market (with special focus on Europe, Latin America and the US).

Training and Networks is a training platform for the national audiovisual industry realized by the Viña del Mar’s Cultural Corporation and Viña del Mar’s International Film Festival. The program is co-financed by Corfo, the National Council for Culture and Arts and ProChile.
