Special for EAVE Producers: Locarno OPEN DOORS

Call for applications

Dear EAVE producers,

EAVE is delighted to continue its partnership with OPEN DOORS taking place from August 8-12, 2014 during the Locarno Film Festival (August 6-16, 2014).

At the same time, the successful Locarno Industry Days will be organized again. EAVE producers (with special priority to producers interested in coproducing with the Sub-Saharan African region) have the unique possibility to participate in OPEN DOORS in order to meet the selected filmmakers and producers and to come and discover the Locarno film festival. The selected producers will be invited by the festival providing accreditation & accommodation during the event (4 nights).

In 2014 the OPEN DOORS section will focus on 25 countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (mainly the English and Portuguese speaking regions). 

12 projects have been selected and the directors and producers of the chosen projects will be present in Locarno and available for pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings. 

Please find the official project selection HERE. 

More detailed information about the projects will be available online in a protected area of the Locarno Film Festival's website www.pardo.ch.

Please confirm definitely by June 13, 2014 by e-mail to eave@eave.org if you wish to attend. 

On August 11 at the Hotel Belvedere, FOCAL and the Swiss Producers Association will organise a seminar and networking event for Swiss and international producers. Time and topics will be communicated shortly.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
