SOFA (School of Film Advancement) has announced that in response to the war in Ukraine, it is preparing an open workshop as an act of solidarity. From 2-6 May, SOFA is holding a digital workshop for alumni from Ukraine, who will be joined by the Belarusian alumni who have decided to live in exile. The goal of this workshop is to provide specific information from experienced experts and fund representatives, focusing on various support schemes, as the continuity of their cultural work is needed now more than ever.

The one-week workshop will offer an overview of the tangible possibilities to settle professionally in new territories as well as methods and strategies for project development in this challenging situation. The SOFA team is already helping their alumni with much-needed practical and bureaucratic advice, and high-level industry contacts. The workshop will be open to new participants from these countries who plan to realise a structural project in the field of film/audiovisual. Those who wish to participate in the workshop can reach out to SOFA through this e-mail address: office@joinsofa.org

Furthermore, SOFA is looking for upcoming cultural managers and creative entrepreneurs who plan to realise a structural project in the field of film/audiovisual, with applications open until 31 May. For its ninth edition, the school will invite up to ten participants to partake in intense workshops that will take place in mid-August and late October. Besides the on-site workshops, there will also be hybrid modules, regular online Working out Together and Mastermind sessions, as well as individual sessions with SOFA’s pedagogical team.

SOFA supports film initiators, cultural managers, entrepreneurs, facilitators and catalysts with unique project ideas in the audiovisual world. Selected participants will be trained in various creative fashions to reach local and international cinemagoers, and will be given the opportunity to forge ties beyond borders. With the help of experienced lecturers, SOFA participants will receive tailor-made coaching that will enable them to efficiently realise their dream project. The workshops connect participants with decision-makers and high-level professionals in the audiovisual industry.

All participants are coached by experts and mentors, including Oliver Baumgarten (film curator, cultural manager and publicist), Ewa Puszczyńska (producer of Ida [+leggi anche:
