EAVE On Demand

Addis Ababa 2016

Masterclass on Producing Short Films

December 5-7, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

EAVE is proud to organise an EAVE ON DEMAND session in co-operation with the Goethe Institut in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during December 5-7, for 6 teams of young writers/directors and producers of short films.

The first part of the workshop will consist in a masterclass and information exchange on the subject of “The role of international festivals in the financing of sub-Saharan films”. This also includes a brief exposition of international funds available for the production of short films and a brief presentation of the main international festivals which take part in financing and promoting of short films.
Also Hiwot Admasu and Henok Legesse, Ethiopian short film directors, script writers and editors, whose short film “New Eyes” made it to several international festivals and won various prices, will share their story and experiences.

The main focus of the three day workshop will be an in-depth feedback on your script. Every team will have the chance to discuss their script and short film project in detail with EAVE graduate and expert Marie Dubas. There will also be a session for the group to discuss each other’s projects.

EAVE ON DEMAND IN ADDIS ABABA will combine the long experience that EAVE has in international training and networking with a tailor-made approach for the selected Ethiopian professionals, taking into account their specific needs. 

EAVE ON DEMAND IN ADDIS ABABA is part of “Creative Futures”, a two year programme to support the creative industries in Ethiopia, jointly organized by British Council, Goethe-Institut and iceaddis, funded by the European Commission. The aim of the programme is to develop the visual arts sector in Ethiopia. After the EAVE ON DEMAND IN ADDIS ABABA, 1-2 of the participating teams will be selected for the next step of collecting internationally experience.
