After the successful first edition at the 2.American Film Festival in Wrocław, US in Progress - a two-day works-in-progress event targeted at American independent filmmakers and European buyers – evolves into a two-leg event held at two festivals every year. Apart from the regular November get-together in Wrocław, there will be another event at the newly created Champs-Elysées Film Festival on June 7-10 2012 in Paris.
US IN PROGRESS (former known as Gotham in Progress) is the first industry event devoted to US-indies in Europe. The Paris event will also have a form of intense exclusive screenings (behind closed doors, for registered guests only) and one-to-one meetings. US filmmakers of 3-5 selected films will be invited to present their final cuts to a group of around 30 key European buyers. The organizers offer flights and hotel in Paris. A jury made of professionals will award one of the films with a package of post-production and promotional services in kind from the sponsors. Independent US films in final production stages should apply to the programme on http://www.blackrabbitfilm.com/us-in-progress/paris-edition-2012/before 1 April.
Call for projects for Wroclaw (November edition) opens April 1 on www.americanfilmfestival.pl and www.blackrabbitfilm.com.
