Selected projects will be announced late December and selected producers/directors will have the chance to pitch their project to all attending decision makers and professionals. Along with the pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, for the first time we will accompany the selected projects before, during and after the event, organizing curated one-to-one meetings with a number of business angels handpicked for each project in cooperation with EAVE. Selected teams will have the unique opportunity to receive advice on co-production, finance, marketing or distribution, according to the primary needs of their project.
Selected projects will compete for the following awards:
