Media Desk Malta is organising a seminar on film development and EU funding on Saturday the 26th of April at 10.00am at St. James Cavalier in Valletta. The half day seminar for audiovisual professionals will take place during the 10th Edition of the European Film Festival organised by the European Commission Representation in Malta.

The seminar will include discussions on topics ranging from film development and EU Funding opportunities, to case studies of success stories from Austria and Hungary. The seminar will start off with a presentation by the Malta Film Commission which will focus on film development and the local situation.

Austrian film director and producer Hannes Rauchberger will talk about the international dimension of storytelling and the importance of networking. Ágnes Havas, Managing Director of Sky Film Studios in Hungary will tackle film-financing issues drawing onto her experience of producing audiovisual works in Hungary. Ágnes Havas is the co-producer of the Hungarian film Lora being screened during the 10th European Film Festival.

Participants will find out more about tapping into development funds for documentaries, feature films and animation projects under the MEDIA programme. MEDIA, the EU’s support programme for the audiovisual industry, has supported the development and distribution of thousands of films as well as training activities, festivals and promotion projects in Europe. 

MEDIA Desk Malta within the Ministry for Education, Culture, Youth and Sports helps to promote the MEDIA programme in Malta. For more information about this seminar and reservations email: mediadesk@gov.mt
