free entry
The masterclass will be held in co-operation with the prestigious ENS Louis-Lumière – National Film, Photography & Sound Engineering School and Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb. It will shed light on the differences between producing a feature film with European co-producers and being a producing partner, like an executive producer hosting a foreign film production, or giving access to tax incentives and tax credits to the foreign producer. There will be a general introduction to the top five countries in the world in terms of production, after which the focus will shift to France. France is a country with some of the most elaborate and institutionalized film financing mechanisms: National Film Fund (CNC), regional funding, TV, SOFICA, MGs (minimum guarantees), MEDIA, Eurimages. There will be a presentation of co-production possibilities with France and other countries: treaties, tax incentives, majority and minority co-productions, language of film, cast and crew requirements budget and financing plan presentation, law on media chronology, etc.
The masterclass will be moderated by Ms Bojana Momirovic, manager of the Department for Continuing Education at ENS Louis-Lumière
