In the third seminar, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey, participated the13 filmmakers, who represent 6 MEDA countries: Algeria, Tunisia, Palestine, Turkey, Jordan and Israel.
In the framework of this seminar we held a pitching workshop, moderated by Philippe Van Meerbeeck, Commissioning Editor at VRT, Belgium. The participants worked with Paul Pauwels, Director of the European Television Management Academy, who prepared them for the pitching forum. They also worked with their personal mentors: John Appel from the Netherlands, Nenad Puhovsky from Croatia, Erez Laufer from Israel and Serge Gordey from France, creating trailers in editting rooms for their projects and completing their production packages, to be presented during the pitching forum.
Personal meetings were held between each of the participants and the panel members the day after the Pitching forum. In this framework, they discussed further support options and future collaborations with TV Stations and film funds, producers and distributors.
