MAIA WORKSHOPS is a training programme for emerging European producers, providing them with the fundamental creative and managerial skills needed to steer a fiction, documentary or cross-media project through the different phases of development, production and distribution. A particular attention is dedicated to new and innovative ways of developing, producing and marketing low-budget European films across borders and platforms.

MAIA is structured in three independent five-day residential workshops. Each one offers a tight combination of case-studies, theoretical lessons and practical exercises, specific work on participants’ projects, one-to-one meetings with tutors and trainers and networking opportunities.

The Maia workshops are targeted to emerging European fiction, documentary and cross-media producers as well as graduates, production managers and other industry professionals wishing to improve their production skills. Maia also accepts a limited number of participants from non-EU countries.

You can attend one, two or all three workshops. If you are applying for the 3-workshop package we will ask you to come with a project in development. Single workshops can be attended with or without a project. Each workshop is open to 20 participants and the working language is English.
