Already in January next year MIDPOINT's special workshop program will take off with 4 teams of writers, directors and producers who are in the process of developing their short fiction films.

The 2 residential workshops take place in January in Trieste, Italy during Trieste Film Festival and in April/May in Belgrade, Serbia, and here the participants will develop their script as well as prepare the production and promotional aspects of their projects.
