Save your seat now! The LET’S CEE Film Festival 2017 in Vienna will host its Industry Days on “Filmmaking in CEE and in Austria: Meeting Tomorrow’s Challenges“ from 23rd to 24th March. The new two-day event, held in English, will impress participants with top speakers and an agenda of practical and relevant topics. The participation is free of charge for accredited festival visitors. Please register in time to secure your place. For all those who did not reserve a place or are not on the attendance list, remaining open seats will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

The organisers aim to offer participants a broad agenda of practical, relevant topics and to show them the best opportunities for getting their projects funded and financed in several countries and on EU level and how to find the perfect co-production partner. In addition, participants will also get an up-to-date overview of what the film industry in Austria and in the CEE region has to offer besides these aspects. Participants will, for example, listen to lectures on how to improve their chances of getting their feature film or documentary on the big screen of a cinema chain or at an A-Festival, what big film studios nowadays can do for them, how virtual reality will change the business in the near future, how to produce a high-class documentary on a par with Hollywood, what a perfect and watertight international co-production contract looks like, and much more. In two top-class panel discussions, Austrian and international experts will talk about the future of European film festivals and analyse the prospects of co-productions between western and CEE countries. The closing event of the Industry Days, a Live! Ammunition! Pitching Session hosted by Elliot Grove, Founder and Director of the Raindance FF and the British Independent Film Awards, will give young filmmakers the chance to present their work in front of experienced film professionals.
