Each film team has several individual encounters with various trainers internationally experienced in different key areas of filmmaking. Alongside having script consultations, the participants work with experts from the fields of directing, cinematography, sound, editing, but also of production, financing & sales, sustainability and audience engagement. Some trainers are selected to address specific needs of the projects, ensuring a tailor-made approach.
Individual consultations are delivered along with group sessions with fellow participants foster an inspiring exchange of ideas. Sharing the development stage with other filmmakers and producers creates a uniquely collaborative environment, where peer-to-peer learning enriches and advances the project development process.
The training and development process culminates in a final presentation of the projects at the TFL Meeting Event in November: all participants present their projects to an audience of international producers, sales agents and other film industry professionals, have one-to-one meetings with market guests and gain networking opportunities. Thanks to the TFL platform and its wide promotional network, the projects benefit from valuable visibility and industry recognition.
Moreover, the projects are assessed by an international and prestigious Jury awarding production grants and the projects also compete for a variety of collateral awards (for further details see the pages dedicated to Funding: TFL Awards and Partners' Awards).
