Facts and myths, that is confrontation based on the experiences of artists who became producers or are considering accepting such a challenge.
What determines or motivates artists, authors, directors to explore the twists and turns of a completely different, unfamiliar sphere which is film rganization and production?
Don’t we disturb ourselves being at the same time roducers of our films and directors who create their own ideas?
What is the role of a modern producer? Who decides about the final form of the film? Is it possible to balance those two roles and is it a beneficial solution for the project under way?
How does an artist establish their own studio? Is there a producer needed for totally auteur projects and what is their role in them? Producer: friend, partner, or foe?
In the meeting, when more and more artists think about who with, for how much and how to produce their films, we will attempt to answer these and similar questions. We kindly invite you to take part in this forum and to speak up. The guests of the forum will be:
