The European Producers Workshop is a year-long professional development programme for about 50 European audiovisual producers, as delivered through three seven-day workshops in different European cities.
Scheduled to take place in Lugano in October, the third 2011 Workshop invites six Swiss producers with a fiction or documentary project in development to join this unique platform for three days. It will afford them a chance to pitch their projects during individual meetings with some of Europe's leading decision-makers, commissioning editors, sales agents and funders, to receive high-level feedback and expertise, follow plenary sessions on crucial production and market topics, and network with other producers from all over Europe.
In addition, a mini-EAVE will be organised for Swiss producers from 28 to 29 October. Details about the event will be published on www.cisaonline.ch and www.focal.ch from 1 September 2011.
