It is a workshop of three residential sessions lasting three to eight days, which provides participants with the professional and artistic tools to bring their project to a successful conclusion, develop their professional know-how and reach the international documentary market. The first session focuses on defining and fine-tuning the main narration choices, the second on preparing the film’s professional file and trailer, and the third on presenting the projects to potential professional partners (broadcasters, festivals, co-producers). Between sessions, participants dialogue with the tutors, according to a pre-established schedule.
