Greenhouse's second round started with a first seminar in Istanbul on February 18th – 22nd. 21 filmmakers representing 11 projects from Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine and Turkey participated in the programme. The filmmakers worked along with their mentors - John Appel, Hans Robert Eisenhauer, Steven Seidenberg and Marc Isaacs on various topics, such as film structure, characters development, cinematic vision and director's statement. The seminar programme included lectures by Yair Lev – Greenhouse's Head of studies and an intriguing master class by the Emmy Award nominee Maziar Bahari, a filmmaker and journalist from Iran.
The mentors gave personal assignments to each project to be presented by the filmmakers on the second seminar in Turkey this coming April.
