First part of Primepackaging 2008 draws to a close
The first part of Primepackaging 2008 – a three-part European training initiative for independent film and television producers, launched in 2006 by the Primehouse organisation, in partnership with German and European institutions – drew to a close on Sunday in Berlin.
From July 16-20, eight projects representing six European countries were evaluated and targeted strategies were drawn up for their financing and promotion. Experts in various fields (screenwriting, distribution, marketing, interactive media) were there to share their knowledge and examine each individual project.
Over 40 projects were submitted from across Europe, from Bulgaria to Spain. The eight selected films hailed from France (Autonauts of the Cosmoroute - produced by Les Films du Présent); Serbia (Play Me Kusturica - Film House Kiselo Dete in co-production with German company Kinoherz OHG); the UK (Bait - Independent Film Production and Relative Desire - Different Ltd.); Austria (Untitled Lovestory - Eidolon); Poland (The Devil’s Work - AMP Polska); and Germany (Devil’s Ball - Acar Entertainment and Heilige Kühe - Lichtblick).
This year’s next two Primepackaging events will be held in Vienna and Copenhagen.
