RADA ŠEŠIĆ

I have an idea! NOW WHAT?

During the workshop, participants will work with Rada Šešić, film director, lecturer in the field of film and curator who has 30 years of experience working on consulting on projects at the international level, in Europe and Asia (IDFA, IFF Rotterdam, Sarajevo Film Festival, Polish Docs to start and Docs to Go, Balkan Discoveries, Last Stop Trieste, Rough Cut Lab at Vision du Reel,   Kerala Film Festival, Doc Edge Kolkata). Through this unique research of creative documentary film, participants will process different film styles, as well as get to know the specifics of different festivals and markets and find answers to the following questions:

– WHAT do I want to say?
– HOW do I want to say?
– Does HOW fit WHAT?

Where to go with my rough cut? How could my project gain visibility? Where to go for finishing funds? My film is ready! How can I be noticed on the international scene? How do I make a festival strategy? Do I need an IMPACT strategy? Can I do the PR myself ? Do I need a sales agent?

These topics will be divided in two parts of 150 min with 2 breaks.
