ProPro - The Producers' Programme for Women

‘ProPro – The Producers Programme for Women’, an Initiative of the Austrian Film Institute to Empower Women Film Producers is a biyearly workshop that supports women producers from all over Europe: strengthening their film projects (fiction, doc, series), developing their professional careers, improving their company strategies and finding sustainable national and transnational production partnerships.         
Participating producers will be assigned to highly acclaimed international producers and experts, who will mentor them in group sessions, individual meetings and follow-up meetings throughout a year. They will receive hands-on advice for their film projects and careers, as well as consultation for particular obstacles in their professional lives.  
Lectures, work groups and individual sessions will deal with current needs and trends in the industry, such as digital distribution, crossmedia approach of various formats, new ways of storytelling and alternative ways of financing.
