The EAST–WEST TALENT LAB is an innovative young professionals’ programme
at goEast. Focusing on the transfer of knowledge, creativity and
project ideas, the programme intends to forge links between young
filmmakers, artists, and film and media students from Germany (with an
emphasis on the Rhine-Main region) and the countries of Central and
Eastern Europe.
A broad range of workshops and master classes
given by experts impart crucial core competences and offer profound
knowledge both of the film industry as well as the production of
experimental films and video art outside established industry
mechanisms and economics. Essential topics are the basics of European
co-productions and the process of successful pitching as well as the
limits and intersections of short film, experimental film and video art.
Representatives of national film and video-art funding institutions
from Central Europe will furnish information about their subsidy
structures and opportunities of financial support.
Mentors advise
the participants on developing their own projects. The participants will
be invited to pitch their projects in front of a specialized jury and
then receive direct feedback. The best pitch will receive a project
development prize.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THE EAST–WEST TALENT LAB?
The
EAST–WEST TALENT LAB addresses students and graduates of directing and
producing as well as young filmmakers and artists from Germany and
Eastern Europe (excluding Turkey and Greece). Up to 30 places are
available each year. Filmmakers and video artists presenting their work
within the goEast Experimental Film and Video Art Competition will be
admitted to the EAST–WEST TALENT LAB automatically.
Directors must
submit a project idea that is not yet in production. Applicants must be
aged between 18 and 35. English will be the language of communication at
the EAST–WEST TALENT LAB.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO SUBMIT?
