The MEDIA International-supported EAVE Ties That Bind consists of two workshops, the first taking place in Udine, Italy, from 25-28 April 2010, within the framework of the Udine Far East Film Festival and the second taking place during the Pusan International Film Festival in October 2010 in South Korea.

These workshops will bring together ten film producers from Asian and European countries. Each producer will be selected with a feature film project in development and will work with leading industry experts from both continents during both workshops. Amongst a range of issues, sessions will focus on script development, co-production between Asia and Europe, financing in the two regions, marketing and promotion, and the legal aspects of co-production. The participants will work together as a group, as well as through individual consultation, and will have the unique opportunity to get to know one another, with the goal of forming long-term creative and business partnerships and networks.

The deadline for applications is 12 February 2010.
