Bolzano in Italy is the unique location of the second session of the EAVE Producers Workshop 2026 from June 14 - 21, bringing together 55 participants from 35 countries and 17 scriptwriters with a selection of 19 top industry experts.

Under the guidance of EAVE’s pedagogical team, participants will dive deeper into script analysis, project development, production financing, private equity, strategic recoupment, legal aspects of co-production, equitable coproduction, digital marketing, pitching, packaging, IP and impact producing, company sustainability and diversification strategies, lobbying strategies, working with talent and more during the second week of the year-long training programme. 

The possibilities of Producing with South Tyrol will be presented in a special session by Renate Ranzi, Head of IDM Film & Music Commission Südtirol, Nela Märki (FAS, Filmmakers Association South Tyrol) and Thomas Righetti (ZeLIG film school).

EAVE offers specialized tailor-made training to the local industry. We welcome 8 producers from Triveneto (Alto Adige, Trentino, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia - see complete list below) who will join the EAVE group for two intensive days of group work on their own projects, as well as plenary sessions and networking with the EAVE participants.
