2025 EAVE workshop for independent audiovisual producers

European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs (EAVE) is calling for applications from producers for their year-long programme focused on three intensive weeks featuring professional development through working on the development of fiction, documentary and TV series projects.

EAVE is aimed at producers (fiction, documentary and TV series), who are already working in the film and television industries who wish to expand their operation internationally by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and by building up a pan European professional network. The programme also welcomes applications from associated branches of the industry – e.g. commissioning, funding, legal and finance, festivals and markets, and media administration.

The 3 workshops take place in:

7–14 March 2025 in Luxembourg (LU)
June 2025 (location and exact dates TBC)
October/November 2025 (exact dates TBC) in Thessaloniki (GR)

During the first two workshops, participants work within groups led by experienced producers and with several experts on script analysis, development and production financing, legal aspects of co-production, marketing, pitching, packaging and more. In the third workshop some 50 Future Partners (commissioning editors, national and regional media funds, financiers, sales agents, etc.) join the participants to discuss the projects, companies and careers of the participants, a process which offers unusual access to Europe's Key Industry Players.

Support

A specific scholarship for European residents and citizens who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Colour will be available. EAVE will also grant a scholarship for one Roma participant. There are also a number of scholarships or partial scholarships for those in LCC countries (including Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia), Central and Southeast Europe, Luxembourg, Italy, the UK, parts of Asia, and more.
