CHILE Film Industry Development Program “Training and Networks 2015” features two workshops with renowned Experts from Europe and the US in collaboration with EAVE.

Training and Networks is part of the Industry of Viña del Mar´s International Film Festival. The program seeks to encourage the development of audiovisual contents under a business dynamic in the Chilean industry. For this purpose, 2 workshops will be organized with renowned industry experts from the European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs Workshop (EAVE) Program and from the United States.

This year, the program has selected 10 audiovisual projects with their respective creative team members (directors, producers and scriptwriters) to participate in this year’s course.

The program will consist of two workshops: 

Experts from the EAVE Program will work on the script development, production aspects, marketing and sales strategies of the selected projects.

EAVE is Europe’s leading producer training program with a network of over 1,500 professionals. Over the last six years, EAVE has expanded its training opportunities beyond the borders of Europe: with new partnerships in Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet states and Asia, EAVE is opening new windows of cooperation at a global scale.

“Training and Networks” is a training platform for the national audiovisual industry realized by the Viña del Mar’s Cultural Corporation and Viña del Mar’s International Film Festival. The program is co-financed by Corfo, the National Council for Culture and Arts and ProChile. 

The main objective is to promote skills and competences of producers, directors and scriptwriters in order to improve their audiovisual project’s artistic contents and business dynamics. The intention is to link the participants with national and international organizations for financing and distribution and to develop potential alliances and co-productions.
