The art of pitching is the professional oral presentation of a project idea or story. A task that even brilliant filmmakers and producers often fail at. A successful pitch of a film project can decide whether a project is realized or not.
What makes a good pitch? Where to start? Presenting your project in an interesting and successful way in a short time is a real challenge for authors – directors and producers.
During four intensive days, accompanied by expert Stefano Tealdi, participants will be able to discover and experience all the secrets of a successful pitch by working in small groups on their own projects.
We accept fiction, documentary and series projects regardless of the format (short, long, medium, etc.) and genre.
Audience: professional authors – directors or students, Luxembourgish or living in Luxembourg, with a “ready to pitch” project.
We also accept participants without a project up to a limit of two per session.
Maximum number of participants: 8 (2 participants maximum per project) As part of the collaboration between the Film Fund Luxembourg and the CNA to support laureates of the grant “aide aux auteurs”, the 5 winning projects are automatically selected. The number of remaining places will be defined according to their confirmation of participation.
Dates : Du 26.02 au 29.02.2024
Participation fee:
Normal: 200€
Reduced: 100€ (Students, jobseekers, intermittent workers in the entertainment industry, self-employed professional artists, on presentation of proof)
