EUROPEAN SHORT PITCH 2012

Archives | 2012 | Scriptwriting Workshops

In 2007 we began the European Short Pitch (ESP), an interesting initiative to support the development of young directors and to get their short films made as European coproductions. In 2012 it arrives at its 6th edition and we’re almost done with it!

A total of 25 short film projects made by young European filmmakers from the following countries were selected to participate at ESP: Italy, Great Britain, Bosnia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Luxemburg, France, Malta, Greece, Slovakia and Romania. All the selected projects have participated in a scriptwriting workshop in Luxembourg (3rd to 8th January) and an online session (9th January to 15th February).

Now, all the participants have to face the hardest part: the pitching of their projects in the European coproduction forum that will take place in Maribor from 2nd to 4th March.

During this European Pitch and Coproduction Forum, young filmmakers and scriptwriters will get the chance to meet industry professionals and producers from all over Europe and most likely to get a European coproduction for its short film projects.

Here all the information about the ESP and the selected projects: the Book of European Short Pitch.
