A unique professional script and project development platform for emerging talents aimed at scouting the most gifted filmmakers & producers of the future coming primarily from Central and Eastern Europe and the wider Mediterranean area.
Every year it selects teams of writers, producers and first- or second-time directors of 9 feature film projects and it also selects 3 script consultant trainees who join the creative process.
The best project of the program receives the KVIFF & MIDPOINT Development Award of 10,000 EUR. See the Awards section for more information about other networking awards the program offers.
MIDPOINT Feature Launch is realized with the support of Creative Europe - MEDIA Programme of the European Union.
