At the time of its founding in 2003, Ex Oriente Film was the first training initiative that focused on the development and funding of documentary films from Eastern Europe. Over the ten years, Ex Oriente Film has offered yearlong support to over 130 documentary projects, providing the mentoring and contacts necessary to break through to the international market.
To be launched in September, celebrations will be spread over ten months. We'll bring you interviews with 10 filmmakers who attended the workshop and, in lieu of a birthday cake, we'll be serving a special interactive treat. You'll have many opportunities to celebrate with us in person. At the end of October, we look forward to raising a glass with you at Ex Oriente Film's 2nd session in Jihlava. We'll also be happy to meet you for a truly authentic East European drink during one of our many festival trips...
Check back soon for more updates. In the meantime, you can browse all upcoming and completed Ex Oriente Film projects.
