The first module of CIRCLE Women Doc Accelerator is almost here!
Our year-round program starts tomorrow and will take place in Evia Island (Greece), July 2–7.
We're glad to continue our partnership with Thessaloniki Film Festival & Agora, that are hosting us in the beautiful frame of their third Evia Film Project. This green initiative started in 2022 aiming to provide support to the Northern Evia region following the devastating wildfires of 2021.
We are excited to welcome new mentor Heidi Fleisher, American producer and consultant based in France who will join us for the first time, as well as the Romanian award-winning editor, sound designer and director Dana Bunescu, who participated in our CIRCLE Fiction Orbit last year as an editing and story mentor. They will be joined by returning mentors Brigid O'Shea, consultant and co-founder and director of the Documentary Association of Europe (DAE), Joanna Solecka, marketing and publicity expert from Alphapanda.
Guest experts are Kumiana Novakova, chief curator and film director, Mara Gourd-Mercado, Head of CPH:DOX Industry and Lin Alluna who will present a case study of her award-winning documentary film TWICE COLONIZED, to be screened during Evia Film Project.
Module 01 focuses on creative development and analysis of the projects. Combining individual consultations with group sessions, the goal of this phase is to expand participants’ perception of their films and devise new strategies for resolving any potential issues they may have faced in their creative journeys. These sessions are reinforced by masterclasses, film screenings and other activities.
The CIRCLE cohort will continue its journey in September 2024 (Novi Sad, Serbia) and in January 2025, in partnership with WEMW (Trieste, Italy).
We are wishing you all a great summer and will report back to you after our first workshop.
With best regards,
Your CIRCLE team
