Special for EAVE Producers: Independent Film Week NY

Call for applications

Dear EAVE producers,

We are happy to continue, for the second year, the special partnership with the Independent Filmmaker Project in the framework of the Independent Film Week. 

Independent Film Week is the oldest and largest forum in the US for the discovery of new projects in development and new voices on the independent film scene, and will take place as usual following the Toronto Film Festival, in New York City. 

Independent Film Week is the culmination of all we do at IFP and is the destination for storytellers in all mediums to connect with industry and peers to further advance their projects in an environment that promotes community, growth, and career sustainability. Filmmakers, content creators, innovators, and audiences come out in force to experience first-hand the expanded opportunities IFP has been working to provide the international film and media community.

Film Week encompasses the Filmmaker Conference, and the concurrent Project Forum that both showcase how great projects and creatives can connect with collaborators and audiences to make work that stands out in a crowded marketplace across multiple platforms and mediums.

Each day of the conference guides filmmakers in the art, technology and business of independent filmmaking. Project Forum has had a prolific history in the independent community supporting both emerging and established independent filmmakers at critical stages in their development processes. The organization championed the early work of pioneering independent filmmakers Charles Burnett, Todd Haynes, Mira Nair, Michael Moore, Joel and Ethan Coen, Kevin Smith, Todd Solondz, and Wayne Wang. Recently, it has also played a vital role in launching the first films of many of today’s rising stars on the independent scene including Benh Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Debra Granik, (Down to the Bone) Miranda July (Me, You and Everyone We Know), and Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden (Half Nelson).

The Independent Film Week will take place during September 20-25, 2015 in New York City.

Special for EAVE producers: EAVE and IFP offer the opportunity for 2 EAVE producers to be registered for free at the Independent Film Week.

Please let us know if you are interested, by e-mail: tina@eave.org, no later than August 14.
