European Cultural Foundation supports regional workshop project Kino:Vérité

We are very pleased to announce that the European Cultural Foundation has joined our efforts in the regional documentary filmmaking workshop project Kino:Vérité by granting financial support from the Balkan Incentive Fund for the implementation of the first such workshop.

Besides the ECF, the project has so far been supported by the Embassy of France in Belgrade, later joined by the Ministry of Culture of Serbia. Among notable partners on this project, besides the documentary film school Ateliers Varan, are also the French Cultura Centres of the region, the Faculty of media and communication in Belgrade, a great list of venues that hosted our regional tour last year, as well as a number of other organisations that helped spread the word about the Call for Applications. We have received more than 200 applications from all ex-Yugoslav countries for the 12 available positions in the workshop.

The workshop is planned to begin in the second half of June. In the following period we will be reporting regularly on progress in preparations and the implementation of the project, and applicants can expect to be notified of their selection to the interview round during the next two weeks.
