Day 1: Building Successful Co-productions

Background

The 2 day masterclass will be held by Paul Thiltges, the president of PTD. The company’s film catalog reflects the diversity of its professional network by including engaging documentaries and fiction such as the work of Michael Glawogger, Hicham Lasri or Ari Folman, while simultaneously working on rather entertaining fiction as with Frederic Jardin or Sylvie Testud. In the meantime PTD also commits to animated fiction aimed to children, co-producing stories such as Kirikou & the Sorceress by Michel Ocelot or The Blue Arrow and A Greyhound of a Girl by Enzo D’Alò.

Target Group

The workshop is open to everyone from the Caucasus region.  Following the 50/50 Initiative of WIFT International, we will be aiming at gender-balanced participation.
