Sustainable film companies and new business models: EAVE+ kicks off in Luxembourg!

press release

The 12th edition of EAVE+ takes place from April 9-14, 2022 at Hotel Mama Shelter in Luxembourg. The workshop will gather 14 experienced producers from 11 countries and 7 seasoned industry professionals to discuss the structure of their companies, best management practices and new business models. 

Thanks to our partnership with CineLink, Vasilis Chrysanthopoulos (plays2place productions, Greece) and Danijel Pek (Antitalent, Croatia) have been selected from two previous editions of CineLink to participate with a special scholarship.

EAVE+ will tackle the most pressing issues for producers who want to run a sustainable company:

Transforming Companies, new business models and company constellations, which we will explore via a series of inspiring company case studies by Jonas Katzenstein (augenschein Filmproduktion, DE), Petri Kemppinen (Aurora Studios, FI) and Carole Scotta (Haut et Court, FR).

“I ran my company on a small scale, but participation on EAVE+ workshop offered me some new ideas and tools how to empower and structure my future business model and network.”
