We believe that that change will bring the following benefits to the Ex Oriente Film participants:
- East Doc Platform (event to which the 3rd session will be leading to - with the East European Forum, Doc Launch presentation, East Silver Videolibrary, individual meetings within the Project Market, Industry Screenings, networking lunches, co-production breakfasts, master classes and case studies) will become larger and shaped according to East European documentary professionals
- Ex Oriente Film participants will profit from the increased quality of the East Doc Platform in Prague as it will be offering richer networking and co-financing possibilities
- All our guests will benefit from higher quality of the services in Prague, compared to Jihlava
- IDF and Ex Oriente Film will be able to increase its synergies – the Ex Oriente Film 2nd session will be organized in the synergy with the Jihlava IDFF, 3rd session and the whole EastDoc Platform will be organized in the synergy with the One World Film Festival. In stead of only one synergy with one partner, we will annually have fixed close programme synergies with two main Czech festivals. In addition, we will always be able to organize the first workshop in co-operation and in the frame with another festival or with another partner.
- The Ex Oriente Film 2nd session will be organized parallel to the Jihlava IDFF where IDF will open the East Silver Market Video Library (financed by MEDIA Training) with invited buyers, sales, festival programmers and distributors. Such combination of two events will be beneficial for the Ex Oriente Film participants who will be introduced to the way the international market with the completed films works. The 2nd session will also welcome tutors oriented on the distribution who will be helping the participants to build and shape their distribution strategy.
