Focus SCRIPT 2024: two projects chosen by MIDPOINT Institute and Italian Short Film Center!

The Focus SCRIPT aims to strengthen the bonds with Visual Arts & Film Schools and European Producers participating in the SFC | Rendez-vous Industry. 

Through this program we highlight short film talents and support them from the very beginning of their next film development. 

This year again, two institutions are collaborating on the initiative and have chosen the projects that will benefit from dedicated supports. 

 

Congratulations to Wannes Vanspauwen & Pol De Plecker for their project PITHEAD, produced by Animal Tank! 

Thanks to a collaboration developed with MIDPOINT Institute, one of the Focus SCRIPT projects is included as part of MIDPOINT Shorts upcoming edition, year-long program dedicated to short films in development.
The directors and their producers, Sven Spur & Jules Mathôt, will benefit from a personalized support in order to facilitate the completion of their upcoming short film.
