Eurodoc
EURODOC is a training programme designed towards European professionals of the documentary field developing a specific project. The programme is composed of 3 training modules over a period of 8 months in residential workshops.
The objectives of the EURODOC programme are:
- to improve the development level of documentary projects of international potential, their financing and management
- to prepare their presentation to the European Commissioning editors invited
- to face for technological changes in the field of development, production and distribution
- to strengthen small and middle-size companies
- to question the practices and mentalities of independent professionals in order to better take into account the European dimension, the various market realities and trans-national cooperation
- to set up a sustainable networking of skills and exchanges by bringing together the professionals and the European decision-makers of this sector
- to tend towards a balance between Western and Eastern Europe
Every stage of the work (and every level within the profession) is studied in great detail (know-how and ethics): Project assessment, work on the development and the script with the filmmakers, negotiation of rights (author/filmmaker, archives, music), budgeting, "packaging", "trailers", identification of financial partners, drafting of co-production agreements, production mode, management of the production company in relation with specialised banking establishments, promotion and distribution.
Special experts are invited: producers, lawyers, script analysts, budget and pitching consultants, commissioning editors, distributors and bankers.
