EX ORIENTE FILM STEP BY STEP:
\n1st Workshop Session: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Find Your Originality\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nJuly 20 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 25, 2015 (Rijeka, Croatia, in cooperation with Udruga Ukus and REFINERI workshop)
\nThe first session of the workshop deals with inspiration, focusing on the development of the
\ndocumentary project, primarily its story potential, as well as researching the potential for
\ndocumentary co-production and laying the groundwork for project production. The programme is
\ndivided between various master classes held by visiting experts and practical intensive work on
\nthe projects. The first session aims to integrate the participants into a functioning group,
\nestablishing positive atmosphere for creative networking as well as defining the position of each
\nproject within the context of the European documentary market.<\/p>\n

2nd Workshop Session: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Production Development\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nOctober 26 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 31, 2015 (Jihlava, Czech Republic, within Jihlava IDFF)
\nThe second workshop session focuses on budgeting, legal aspects of co-productions, strategies
\nfor selecting commissioning editors and other partners, as well as a deeper creative development
\nof the projects, the rough material as well as the documentary script. The second session is
\nspecific in that it has partly separate programme for directors and producers – the directors are
\nworking on the script, dramaturgy and trailer, while the producers are preparing the financial and
\ndistributional plans and consulting the budget in detail.<\/p>\n

3rd Session: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Market Opens\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & East European Forum
\nMarch 7 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 13, 2016 (Prague, Czech Republic, within East Doc Platform and One World IHRDFF)
\nThe third meeting of the workshop focuses mainly on developing a plan for the distribution and
\nsales of the film, fine-tuning the final vision of the trailer, after-pitching negotiation techniques
\nas well as practicing of the communication strategy aimed at getting support for the project from
\nthe international partners. The theoretical parts of the workshop deal through real case studies
\nmainly with the issues of international co-production and distribution. The workshop culminates in
\nthe public presentation \/ pitching itself, followed by the personal meetings with the international
\ncommissioning editors, TV, fund and festival representatives, independent (co-) producers, and
\ndistributors, whom the participants can meet at the round tables as well as within the prearranged
\nindividual meetings. The projects presented at the East European Forum annually
\ncompete for 6 awards, providing further support to the winner: direct financial help for further
\ndevelopment of the film (East Doc Platform Development Award and Golden Funnel Award), coproduction
\nor post-production support from the TV stations (HBO Co-Production Award and the
\nCzech TV Postproduction Award) or free participation in other key European film co-production
\nmeetings and markets (IDFA Forum, DOK Leipzig and DocsBarcelona Awards).
\nAnother important aspect of Ex Oriente Film is the year-round online support – sessions and
\nconsultations led by organizers, head tutors and guest tutors of the workshop. The three
\nresidential Ex Oriente Film workshops and the East European Forum pitching are supplemented by
\nthe Follow-Up Support Programme which tracks the projects till their completion, providing
\nformer participants with consultation and scholarships for international festivals and markets and
\nhelping to multiply their professional contacts (IDFA, Sheffield Doc\/Fest, DOKLeipzig, WEMW,
\nFipa etc.).<\/p>\n

The final selection of the 12 projects\/ teams will be announced in the second half of June.<\/p>\n
