EOS 6 Creative Producers Debate

13.45-15.30, 19/2/2008, NFT 1

The Creative Producers Debate event, an Eat Our Shorts tradition, is dedicated this year to the profound influence of film practice education on national film cultures and to the transition of young film makers from school into industry.

Skillset’s Director of Film, Janine Marmot, who produced Institute Benjamenta and a representative from the UK Film Council (TBC) will join pioneering UK film producers Nik Powell and Ben Gibson who lead the National Film & Television School and the London Film School respectively.
They will also be joined by three prize winning young Romanian film makers, guests of the EOS 6 festival and graduates of UNATC, the National Romanian University for Theatre and Film Arts in Bucharest. They are the fiction director Catalin Mitulescu, the documentary director Alexandru Solomon and the editor Catalin Cristutiu.
The panel will examine the cultural impact of film schools and film courses in general and will explore potential avenues of support for talented young film makers in the UK and abroad by using the model of the Romanian Cinema’s ‘New Wave’ as an original case study.

EOS 6 Documentary Debate

‘Art Versus Mammon’
Opportunities for Documentary in the UK and Europe

14.00-15.30, 20/2/2008, NFT 1

The EOS 6 Documentary Debate, a first at Eat Our Shorts, is dedicated to examining the future of documentary in the UK and Europe and seeks to explore the potential for young documentary film makers to innovate the documentary form and to secure national and international funding and distribution for creative factual projects in film, television and new media.

Romanian documentary director and producer Alexandru Solomon, author of the critically-acclaimed The Great Communist Bank Robbery presented on BBC 4 and at the Voyages Festival, will screen excerpts from his recently completed documentary on Radio Free Europe, Cold Waves. This challenging documentary project came to life through European co-production funding.
The panel will be joined by Kerry McLeod and Deborah Kingsland from DFG and may include a ‘surprise’ UK based documentary film maker.
The EOS 6 Documentary Debate is a collaboration with the One World Broadcasting Trust and with the Documentary Film Group.
Chair: Andy Glynne, Director of the One World Broadcasting Trust, founding Director of the Documentary Filmmakers Group and Executive Producer for Mosaic Films.
