DKE – Uredi MEDIA iz Cipra, Crne Gore, Češke, Estonije, Grčke, Hrvatske, Mađarske, Malte, Slovenije i Srbije u suradnji s Filmskim centrom Crne Gore, Umjetničkim vijećem Malte te Organizacijom za europske programe i kulturne odnose na Cipru organiziraju radionicu pod nazivom 'Let's pitch some shorts!', čiju će kulminaciju predstavljati Pitching forum.
Radionica će ponuditi smjernice profesionalcima, ponajprije redateljima i scenaristima, te adekvatne odgovore na pitanja o najučinkovitijim načinima pripreme i prezentacije vlastitoga projekta stručnoj javnosti – producentima, distributerima, prodajnim predstavnicima, ali i široj javnosti – publici.
Radionica je namijenjena filmskim profesionalcima i studentima filmskih odsjeka, u prvom redu redateljima i scenaristima, s fokusom na projektima kratkometražnih igranih filmova.
Za provedbu radionice zadužena je iskusna i renomirana njemačka filmska producentica Roshanak Behesht Nedjad. Svoju je karijeru u filmskoj industriji započela kao koordinatorica filmskih festivala i voditeljica produkcije, a 1999. godine u Berlinu suosnovala je svoju prvu produkcijsku kuću Flying Moon, koja je do 2014. godine producirala niz autorskih filmova ovjenčanih s više od trideset međunarodnih nagrada. Godine 2015. u Berlinu je suosnovala produkcijsku kuću In Good Company, usmjerenu prvenstveno na međunarodne koprodukcije europskih igranih filmova. Osim produkcijskog rada, Behesht Nedjad aktivno djeluje i kao stručnjakinja te konzultantica za brojne međunarodne filmske institucije i edukativne programe. Članica je Europske i Njemačke filmske akademije te diplomantica i mentorica najpoznatijega europskog edukativnog programa za filmske producente EAVE – European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs.
Za sudjelovanje će biti odabrano do 10 projekata iz Cipra, Crne Gore, Češke, Estonije, Grčke, Hrvatske, Mađarske, Malte, Slovenije i Srbije.
Radionica će se održavati od 15. do 18. lipnja o.g. od 9:30 do 17:30 sati u prostorijama Sveučilišta Vern', a završni Pitching forum održat će se 19. lipnja o.g. u 10:30 sati u kinu Kaptol Cinema Boutique u Zagrebu.

The Creative Europe MEDIA Desks from Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, in cooperation with the Film Center of Montenegro, Arts Council Malta and the Organisation for European Programmes and Cultural Relations in Cyprus, are organizing a workshop called "Let's pitch some shorts!", which will culminate in the Pitching Forum.
The workshop will offer guidance to professionals, primarily directors and screenwriters, providing appropriate answers to questions about the most effective ways to prepare and present their projects to industry professionals—producers, distributors, sales agents—as well as to the wider public—the audience.
The workshop is intended for film professionals and film students, primarily directors and screenwriters, focusing on short fiction film projects.
The workshop will be led by experienced and renowned German film producer Roshanak Behesht Nedjad. She began her career in the film industry as a festival coordinator and production manager, and in 1999 she co-founded her first production company, Flying Moon, based in Berlin. By 2014, the company had produced a notable slate of arthouse films that earned more than thirty international awards. In 2015, she co-founded In Good Company in Berlin, a production outfit focused on international co-productions with an emphasis on European feature films. Alongside her producing work, Behesht Nedjad is active as an expert and consultant for a range of international film institutions and training programmes. She is a member of the European and German Film Academies and a graduate and mentor of the most well-known European educational program for film producers, EAVE – European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs.
Up to 10 projects will be selected from Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.
The workshop will take place from June 15 to June 18, from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM at Vern' University, and the final Pitching Forum will be held on June 19 at 10:30 AM at Kaptol Cinema Boutique in Zagreb.
