ACE Producers and Independent  Film Foundation are pleased to announce the Call for Applications for the Training Days Poland 2024 which has been set up thanks to the support of the Polish Film Institute.

The ACE Training Days Poland is
a tailor-made 2-day programme designed for emerging producers at relatively early stages in their careers, who are looking to expand their network and learn more about the international context of the audiovisual industry. The hands-on workshop welcomes producers working in fiction, animation, and documentary, and strives to make
the industry inclusive, diverse 
and collaborative.

For this workshop a total of 12 producers (6 Polish and 6 total from neighbouring countries) will be selected to join the workshop taking place in Warsaw. As ACE aims to encourage international collaboration, the call is open to emerging producers from Poland, as well as Albania, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Montenegro, North-Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.

The Training Days Poland will be themed around “The Essentials of Co-Producing: What’s the Deal with Negotiating”. The interactive workshop will include plenary sessions, case studies as well as group meetings provided with the help of ACE consultants and producers who have notably strong track-records in international financing, co-production, negotiation, sales and distribution,
and who will share their knowledge
and international expertise.

The ACE Training Days Poland is connected to the ACE 34 Financing Strategies Workshop
(18  - 23 November, Warsaw), which is a workshop within the ACE Annual Programme organised
for the selected 18 experienced producers from Europe and beyond.
