Focus WiP | Focus COPRO' - Throwback
DAS SPIEL | THE GAME © Roman Hodel
Since 2018, the Short Film Corner | Rendez-vous Industry develops various intiatives to support up-and-coming filmmakers, shining a light on their short & feature projects at different stages of development.
Thanks to the Creative Programs - Focus WiP, Focus COPRO' & Focus SCRIPT - filmmakers on the move benefit from a dedicated space to showcase their projects, get personalized consultancies, meet with key decision-makers and find the support they need.
Throwback on several alumni and how far their projects have come since their participation...
