Following the initial workshop and after online consultations in between, the second session will be held in Prague, Czech Republic in June 2024. This will be immediately followed by the project showcase at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in July 2024.
Additionally, the projects selected for Intensive Queer 2024 are eligible to compete for the Eurimages Co-production Development Award, which offers €20,000 for one of the projects featured during the KVIFF Eastern Promises Industry Days.
