Mentoring & Prizes

Consultations

Projects and films participating in the Atlas Workshops benefit from tailor-made support through one-to-one or group consultation according to their individual needs and current stage of production. Directors and producers of projects in development benefit from consultations with a scriptwriter to discuss their screenplay; with a producer to discuss their project’s financing and production strategy; and with an international sales agent to consider distribution potential. Directors and producers of films in production or post-production benefit from consultations about editing, scoring and international distribution.

Seven prizes are awarded by two professional juries.
