Founded in 2001, NISI MASA is a European network of associations, currently present in 19 countries. These associations consist of young professionals, students and enthusiasts with a common cause - European cinema. Our main aims are: to discover new film talents; to develop cross-cultural audiovisual projects; to foster European awareness through cinema; to create a platform of discussion and collaboration for young European filmmakers. Our main activities are: holding an annual European Short Film Script Contest; organising filmmaking & scriptwriting workshops; holding various cinema-related meetings (conferences, seminars, etc.); promoting short films (through screenings, making of DVDs, etc.); editing publications (various books & a daily magazines produced during several European film festivals).

The aim of the European Short Pitch is to develop a European production of short film through promotion of projects starting from the phase of writing, by meetings between scriptwriters/directors and producers on the European level. Starting co-production in the writing stage would improve the financial development of short films, and thus their economic viability and European visibility. And also experiencing European co-production in short film, fostering contacts between young producers on small-scale projects economically speaking, would make the step to feature film production easier. Then, several European producers could combine their means and energies for discovering new talents, supporting them on their way to directing a first feature.

With only a few days left to apply, Nisi Masa's daring filmmaking workshop of 2010 takes place this autumn on the railways of 18 European countries. Istanbul Express: Exploring Multilingualism across Europe aims to investigate the common issues about languages starting from three European capitals, passing through three, and finally arriving in Istanbul, 2010 European Capital of Culture.
