Flahertiana Forum: International Training and Pitching for documentary filmmakers
Flahertiana Forum is an international training and pitching for the documentary filmmakers from the countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia. The main task of the Forum is to present a film idea in an early stage of development to a group of people interested to get involved as supporters/ co-producers. Before the Pitching, there is a 3-day Training for students and beginning filmmakers. Observers without projects are allowed to the open lectures of the Flahertiana Forum if registered in advance with TimePad.
