Less Is More program je pokrenut s ciljem osnaživanja nove generacije filmaša koji žele istraživati nove pristupe, pronalaziti novu publiku i baviti se aktualnim temama. U tom kontekstu, LIM svojim sudionicima – autorima poznatima po kratkim filmovima ili prvim dugometražnim ostvarenjima – nudi priliku za ulazak u svijet produkcije dugometražnih filmova kroz proces koji koristi kreativna ograničenja kao poticaj razvoju.
Od ove godine, LIM postaje LIM², u okviru kojeg će oko 50 projekata biti odabrano za sudjelovanje u tri online sesije (po dvije sata) i majstorskim predavanjima posvećenima potpori ranim fazama razvoja, koristeći inovativne alate i metodologije.
Među tim projektima, 16 će biti pozvano da se pridruži glavnom dijelu LIM programa (s nizom online sastanaka) posvećenom razvoju njihovog prvog, drugog ili trećeg dugometražnog filma.
Dio programa pod nazivom „Online podrška razvoju“ (siječanj – veljača 2026.) uključuje tri online masterclassa osmišljena kako bi sudionicima i njihovim projektima omogućila pristup LIM² alatima, predstavila nove metodologije usmjerene na poticanje faze stvaranja ideja i unapređenje razvoja audiovizualnih projekata, te ponudila alate za suradnju inspirirane istraživanjima kognitivne znanosti.
Za 16 odabranih projekata, dio LIM programa održat će se uživo – od ožujka do listopada 2026. – i uključuje tri jednotjedne radionice, niz online sastanaka te posebno prilagođeno događanje predstavljanja – LIM² MEET, koje će povezati sudionike s industrijskim stručnjacima iz cijele Europe.
Program je otvoren za scenariste i redatelje koji razvijaju igrani film u ranoj fazi, kao i za autore s iskustvom u kazalištu, dokumentarnom filmu ili vizualnim umjetnostima.
Prijave se podnose putem ove poveznice, gdje je potrebno otvoriti račun i priložiti sljedeće materijale:sažetak,kratku obradu,namjeru redatelja,motivaciju za sudjelovanje u programu, biografiju / opis iskustva, filmografiju i/ili druge radove, poveznicu na jedan prethodni film ili umjetnički rad koji najbolje predstavlja vašu scenarističku ili redateljsku viziju,

LIM | Less isMore has been set up to empower a generation of filmmakers intent on opening new avenues and finding new audiences by tackling new issues. Therefore, LIM offers a new generation of filmmakers, already known either for their short films or first features, the opportunity of designing a strong route into feature film production using limitations in their development process.
In 2026, LIM becomes LIM², where around 50projects will be selected to three online sessions (2 hours each) and masterclasses, aimed at supporting the early stages of development through innovative tools and methodologies. Among the 50 projects above, 16 will be invited to join the main LIM on-site programme (with a series of online meetings),dedicated to the development of their first, second, or third feature film.
The ‘Online Development Support’ part of the programme (taking place in January and February 2026), offers three online masterclasses designed to give the participating projects access to the LIM²Toolbox, introduce new methodologies aimed at strengthening the ideation phase and advancing the development of audiovisual projects and provide collaborative tools inspired by cognitive science research
For the 16 projects selected, the LIM On-SiteProgramme, taking place from March to October 2026, includes three one-week, in-person workshops and a series of online meetings, as well as a tailor-made Showcase event, LIM² MEET connecting participants with industry professionals from across Europe.
LIM² welcomes applications from writers and directors who are developing a fiction feature film at an early stage, as well as applicants with backgrounds in theatre, documentary, or visual arts.
Applications are made through this link, where it is necessary to create and account and provide the following materials: summary, short treatment, director’s intention note, LIM motivation, biography/experience, filmography and/or other works, link to one previous film/artwork the most representative of your writer/director touch and a TellMe (a short video of yourself pitching your project). Application deadline is October 15, 2025!
The participation fee is 900 euros for writers/directors. This amount covers workshop training, online sessions, accommodation and subsistence during the workshops, while participants must cover the travel costs.
