EAVE Producers Workshop

EAVE Producers Workshop is a unique and prestigious training program designed to support Palestinian producers working on fiction, documentary films, or TV series projects. This project, facilitated by Filmlab Palestine, offers selected producers an exceptional opportunity to enhance their skills, build international networks, and gain valuable insights into producing and co-producing across Europe.

EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs) is a renowned talent development initiative aimed at established producers who wish to broaden their professional horizons, deepen their knowledge of the European film and television industries, and establish connections with key industry players across Europe. The workshop is open to both experienced producers and those from related industries such as commissioning, funding, legal, finance, and media administration.

Each year, fifty participants from across Europe and beyond are selected to take part in three one-week-long workshops, held in different European locations. 

How the Program Works: 

EAVE is structured to provide an intensive and highly focused environment for producers. Half of the participants bring active projects, using the workshop to further develop their ideas with feedback from colleagues and experts throughout the year. The other half use the opportunity to focus on developing their production companies or career paths. A key feature of the program is the collaborative environment, where producers work closely with scriptwriters, attending one-to-one sessions with script experts.

EAVE graduates become part of an exclusive network of European producers, gaining access to industry events, festivals, and markets across Europe. The program also offers long-term benefits through ongoing partnerships with leading European film festivals and markets, ensuring continued professional development and opportunities for project promotion.
