The ShortCut: Motivating Czech Film Industry to Make Short Films

Czech short film has been experiencing new levels of success in the recent years. However, the community of filmmakers and producers is facing a number of barriers that make production of short films challenging in the Czech context. Seemingly limited funding, lack of co-production opportunities or perceived lack of sales and distribution potential prevent filmmakers from actively bringing short films to the Czech silver screen.

Our co-creation workshop is aiming to analyze these perceived barriers and to bring together experts from the various fields that touch short film in CZE and abroad: festival programmers, short film buyers, sales representatives, producers and co-producers, representatives of funding institutions and film schools. Together with the audience, we will collaboratively share the knowledge and realities of the current industry environment, hoping to find ways that encourage greater production of short films.

Translation to Czech and English will be available and the workshop is open to public. Seating capacity is limited, but you may reserve a seat at [email protected] . Attendees with no reservation will be admitted depending on the available remaining capacity.
