The seminar, which was held in Madrid on April 21-22, brought together producers, screenwriters and directors from throughout Europe, inaugurating a training program whose next seminars will take place in Hungary and Italy.
The topic of the seminar was the specificity of European cinema, in terms of style, subject matter and content, with particular attention paid to Mihaileanu’s Go, See and Become and the relationship between producers and directors according to Kolar’s experiences with Mihaileanu, Danis Tanovic and Milcho Manchevski.
This inaugural session in Madrid was organised by the screenwriting school La Factoría del Guión and PromoMadrid, a publicity company of the City of Madrid.
