The rich ZFF Industry programs usually focus on training for more mature film professionals. However, we also launched a separate student grants program called Industry Youth!. In collaboration with film academies from the region, the program offers festival attendance grants to two students from each of the academies. In a collaboration between the Zagreb Film Festival Industry program and seven film academies from the region – from Belgrade, Cetinje, Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, Sarajevo, Skopje, and Zagreb – 14 students and their 7 projects have been selected to participate in developing their short fiction films in intensive preparatory workshops.
The Industry Youth! program will conclude with a pitching forum for student projects in which young screenwriters and directors will be given the opportunity to present their projects to a panel of experts. The best pitch will be awarded post-production services. The pitching participants will have seven minutes for the presentation and seven minutes for Q&As.
