Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris

ended

Following the system of dual diplomas, which exist in Europe, LA FEMIS and the FILMAKADEMIE BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG have created in 2001 a common continuous training programme, which is validated by both schools. This one-year fulltime programme designed for young European producers and distributors was launched with the support of the French and German states, the Creative Europe-MEDIA programme and the OFAJ (French-German Youth Office). Since 2007, one session of the course takes place in London in partnership with the National Film and Television School of Beaconsfield. Its main objective is to offer a new generation of future producers and distributors a realistic and concrete view of current strategies in screenwriting, financing, production, co-production, distribution, marketing and selling of European cinematic works, based on concrete case studies from France, Germany, the UK as well as the countries of the other European and International participants. The other objective of this course is to teach participants the development in common of a commissioned film production, with the students and alumni of both film schools. The training takes place over one year in France, Germany and England from the beginning of October until the end of August. It is designed for young professionals post-graduated from universities or film schools with prior experience in audio-visual production or very motivated by this sector, coming from the wider European Union – and as a European programme, for a limited number of non European participants (30%) - and not over the age of thirty.
