THE INVITATION

A film is more than a story.
It is a proposition.

This workshop gives filmmakers and producer teams the room to see their projects from the other side of the table: through the eyes of the people who finance, co-produce and bring films to audiences worldwide.

WHAT WE WILL WORK ON

  1. 01

    Develop a project with international buyers in mind.

  2. 02

    Build a realistic financing and co-production strategy.

  3. 03

    Position and present a film for the international marketplace.

THE WORKSHOP

ALGIERS / 2026

For projects with a life beyond the first cut.

Led by Paul Federbush, U.S. film industry professional and international film financing and development expert, the workshop looks at development, financing strategies, international co-production and market positioning.

It is open to Algerian cinema professionals, particularly director/screenwriter–producer teams with a feature-film project. Sessions are primarily in English, with professional interpreters present throughout.

Participation is free of charge.
