New Danish Screen at Pöff Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival

How to prove yourself with the first film? How to develop a project with limited resources? How to successfully produce and market a low-budget movie? Where to get the funding from?
These topics were dissected in depth at a workshop atPöff Tallinn Black Nights Filmfestival by the leading talent supporters from Danish New Screen DFI, Mette Damgaard-Sorensen and Johnny Andersen. Piret Tibbo-Hudgins, who has helped many young producers to prove themselves and currently works as Head of Production at Estonian Film Institute, will provide the Estonian angle.

The workshop 23 November, 2016, explored, what tools are necessary for developing la ow-budget film, how to work in an efficient team for the very first time and how to minimise risks and gain maximum results.

Two successful case studies were presented by the producers Maie Rosmann-Lill (The Days that Confused) from Estonia and Jacob Jarek (Shelley) from Denmark.

The second half of the panel focused on talent development in the Baltics. How do Film Funds support talent? How does Baltic Film and Media School develop it? What happens after graduation? The talk was brought on by the fact that Baltic Film and Media School celebrates its 10th anniversary.

The workshop was arranged by IndustryTallinn & Baltic Event in collaboration with Danish Cultural Institute in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and New Danish Screen.
