The Development workshop will take place from the 19th to the 22nd of March at the Faculty of Film and Television of VŠMU, the participants will work on the project development, e.g. on producing and financing strategies.

The Pixel Lab: the Cross Media Film Workshop is open for applications

TorinoFilmLab is partner of The Pixel Lab, the new workshop launched by Power to the Pixel during the Berlin International Film Festival. This new initiative is centred in developing, producing and distributing cross-media stories – stories that can span film, TV, online, mobile, gaming. The Lab is open to anyone with a strong track record in the European film and related media industries.
The Pixel Lab will enable European film producers and other media professionals to tap into the creative and business knowledge-base of industries such as tech, online, film, broadcast, gaming, mobile and help promote collaboration and co-operation between European audiovisual professionals.
The workshop will take place from 4 – 10 July 2010. Teaching will be led by international cross-media pioneers and will be a mixture of group work, one-to-one meetings, plenary sessions and case studies. Non-producer participants will be assigned to a project which they will work on, together with the producer, over the course of the week.
Power to the Pixel will select up to 40 European participants– 20 producers with cross-media projects and 20 audio-visual professionals without a project.
Producer participants will additionally benefit from focused distance learning project-work between the end of the residency and October, when they will be invited to attend Power to the Pixel’s Cross-Media Forum in London and present their projects to potential international partners.
Deadline for applications is 16 April 2010.
