Training Day: How does a film office establishes itself in the marketplace?

Tuesday, November 9th, Mediterranean Palace, 10:30-16:30

The Hellenic Film Commission of the Greek Film Centre organizes a training day for the regional Film Offices in Greece in collaboration with the European Film Commissions Network (EUFCN), within the framework of the Agora at the 62nd Thessaloniki International Film Festival and with the support of the Athens Film Office.The aim of the training day is to provide training and networking to the film officers and the executives of the regional Film Offices operating in Greece. During the training day, members of the Board of the European Film Commission Network (EUFCN), from the Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Norway, Serbia and Italy, will develop topics of key importance, both for the initial development stage and for the business planning of the Film Offices (good practices for attracting and facilitating demanding audiovisual works, as well as for promoting regions and territories). The purpose of the training day is that the expertise and know-how shared by the most experienced European film commissioners will work for the benefit of the Greek film officers in terms of knowledge and networking opportunities for collaborations.

The event is addressed to Film Offices cadres from Municipalities and Regions of Greece. Producers may also attend the event, accredited by Agora, on a first-come-first-served basis.
