FIRST FILMS FIRST is an intensive professional training program aimed at supporting young Southeast European film directors to develop their first feature-length fiction film. 

From 16 participants of the first 2 editions of FFF, two films have already been shot and are in post-production now and already six projects got support for production in their home countries. For instance Behind the Haystacks by Asimina Proedrou, Her Job by Nikos Labôt, Man and Dog, by Stefan Constantinescu, Riders by Dominik Mencej, Inventory, by Darko Sinko and Open Door by Florenc Papas (Eurimages).

FIRST FILMS FIRST consists of 4 modules, over a period of one year, which allow the participants to develop their first feature film project, step-by-step, through different phases of project development.

The program provides participants with:
  • mentorship by renowned European film professionals through different phases of development of the first feature film project
  • the necessary arts and crafts required to enter the professional international scene
  • first-hand insight and practical knowledge about the ever-changing contemporary European film-making world 
  • contacts with some of the most important European decision makers, auteurs and experts 

FIRST FILMS FIRST focuses on 8 participants only, in order to provide a face-to-face approach, individually adapting and modifying the program in order to accommodate each participant’s specific needs.
