THE ON DEMAND ECOSYSTEM | VOD Inspirational Lab
curated by Silvia Cibien & Agustina Lumi
The VoD Inspirational Lab is a unique opportunity to better understand the diversity of the VOD landscape and the dynamics behind the on-demand ecosystem. Through a series of lectures, case studies and masterclasses, sharing data and know-how on the current VoD market and players, with a focus on Europe and LATAM, the Lab will help the participants to plan ahead the online distribution strategy and co-financing of their content, answering to the audience demand.

An all-encompassing journey through the main funding, distribution and market opportunities offered by the 2023 WEMW spotlight territories. All lectures, individual consultancies and exchange sessions will feature leading key players from these industries and will tackle a wide range of topics.
GENRE RULES | Fantastic Film Inspirational Lab
in partnership with the Fantastic Film Forum of the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival
Genre Rules is meant as a hands-on guide to the inner workings of genre cinema. Even though genre movies today are more popular and marketable than ever, producing them may not prove so easy. The genre film industry is highly specialised, with key players, industry events and subgenres of its own, and constantly changing trends. This lab is designed to provide an in-depth overview of this sector and will focus in particular on the best strategies to develop your project and effectively place it in the market. The workshop targets independent producers and new talents with an international attitude, who wish to improve their skills and become acquainted with the genre film landscape.
INFO DAY
All EAVE graduates keen to apply will have the opportunity to virtually meet with the WEMW team on November 15 from 10.00am to 11.00am to get more info about the EAVE Slate and Inspirational Labs and the submission process. To confirm your attendance and get the direct link to the INFO DAY, you need to register by writing to inspiration@wemw.it no later than November 12.
Please note that due to the restricted capacity of our venue, there will be a very limited number of on-site WEMW accreditations and therefore we encourage all professionals keen to join us on-site in Trieste next January to apply to one of our activities.
We look forward to being once again inspired all together next January!
