POLISH FILM PROJECT AT EUROPEAN SHORT PITCH

The results of the recruitment for the pitching session of projects at the stage of production at European Short Pitch have just been announced. Among four selected films, there is also a Polish project: "Volte" by Monika Kotecka.

One of the main aims of European Short Pitch is to make it possible for European directors and producers to co-produce short films. So far, European Short Pitch included scriptwriting workshops and co-production forum. Beginning with 2016, a new part was added to ESP: pitching of 'work-in-progress' projects, organised in co-operation with C3PM - Paris Courts Devant  and Espera Productions.

The pitchings will be held from March 2 to 6, in Luxembourg, within the frames of Luxembourg City Film Festival. The projects will be presented to a group of 55 short film industry specialists - producers, representatives of institutions financing film production, distributors, etc. The first day will be dedicated to the training in pitching techniques under the guidance of experts. The pitching is scheduled for March 4, and a day later, individual meetings are planned. The best projects will be given grants for post-production.

Only four projects qualified for the participation in European Short Pitch, including one project from Poland: "Volte" by Monika Kotecka.

The full list of qualified films can be found on the website of ESP.
