MIDPOINT Institute is excited to continue the industry collaboration with Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Trieste Film Festival and When East Meets West, to make another edition of Feature Launch possible.
The whole program starts in March 2022 with a residential workshop in Prague (March 10-17), then continues with online workshop on May 3 – 6, 2022.
The third residential workshop in Prague (June 2022) is immediately followed by the Works in development - Feature Launch project showcase at the Karlovy Vary IFF in July 2022.

The producers of the selected projects will then be invited to Trieste, Italy in 2023 for the special Company Time follow-up workshop, which will offer support in the areas of company sustainability and strategic business planning. This training is designed and co-organized with our partners EAVE, Trieste Film Festival and When East Meets West.
