Screen Australia, in partnership with the Ateliers du Cinéma Européen (ACE), will offer a special bursary for one selected Australian producer to attend the ACE international training program (ACE IPA).
The ACE IPA is an eight-day residential workshop for independent feature producers designed to favour co-productions between Europe and the rest of the world and to gradually build an international network of independent film producers.
Eight non-EU producers will be selected to participate in the ACE workshop taking place 14–21 March 2010 in Paris, France and Zurich, Switzerland.
Australian producers wishing to apply must have already produced at least one feature film, be eager to develop long-term business relationships with the European audiovisual industry and have one feature project with a strong international dimension in development.
Screen Australia will offer €5,800 to a selected Australian producer to cover their tuition fees, travel from Paris to Zurich and full board accommodation in Europe. ACE is also offering a long-distance flight ticket to each selected participant.
More information about ACE and the ACE IPA can be found on their website:
