Are you a director ready for the next step after the success of your short film or first feature? Are you eager to develop yourself further and lay the solid foundation for your next project together with the team? Then get ready for TalentScope: the new talent development programme for Dutch directing talent! TalentScope is an intensive coaching programme in collaboration with international partners TorinoFilmLab, ACE Producers and FilmForward.
Three teams, each consisting of at least one director and producer, and preferably a (co-) screenwriter, will get the chance to participate in TalentScope. As a director, your recent work has previously been selected for a leading (inter)national film festival or you have had demonstrable audience success in theatres, film houses or via streaming services.
With the scheme, the Film Fund wants to give up-and-coming film talent an extra boost for the development of their next film project. Selected teams dive deep into a 12-month programme with 3 intensive workshops of 4-5 days, guided by the international experts of TorinoFilmLab and ACE Producers. FilmForward is responsible for organizing the workshops, which focus on artistic freedom, collaboration, and inspiration.
TalentScope is for feature filmmakers with a strong individual signature, guts and international ambition, regardless of genre. Whether you have a passion for groundbreaking arthouse cinema, crossover, youth films, animation, or genre film – TalentScope welcomes all driven teams who want to appeal to both national and international audiences.
The deadline for TalentScope is Monday 29 January 2024.
