The International Project Discovery Forum Extends Call for Entries
Extension Deadline: March 15, 2015 - 11:59 PM PST

The International Project Discovery Forum (IPDF) is a pioneer in the promotion of international independent film development and co-production: utilizing the innumerable resources that exist in Los Angeles, we aim to create a bridge between two very different worlds - the American independent film and Greek/Balkan independent films.

The Forum is a four-day pitching and development workshop that includes script feedback, pitching training, roundtables and workshops. It culminates with the presentation of the selected feature film projects to invited industry professionals such as producers, financiers, distributors, and development.

You may submit if:
...You are developing an independent, fiction, feature film of minimum estimated length of 80 minutes
...You have a full treatment or full script in place
...with a potential for international interest or co-productions

We are seeking:
...Filmmakers from the following countries: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, FYROM, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Romania, Slovenia
...OR international filmmakers whose story takes place in one of the countries above

To submit now click here.

The LAGFF INTERNATIONAL PROJECT DISCOVERY FORUM will be presented as the industry program of LAGFF 2015, June 3-7, in Los Angeles. The filmmakers will be notified via email by the end of April 2015.

Special thanks go to ELMA, an organization dedicated to the promotion of European Cinema in America.

We are grateful to Consul General of Cyprus Andreas Kyprianides for his continued support and tireless efforts to promote Hellenism.

We wish to express our immense gratitude to Consul General of Greece Elisabeth Fotiadou for her unending support of the arts and culture, her unique vision, contribution to the promotion of Hellenism, and her dedication to LAGFF.
