Career development initiative selects 2017 group.
Scroll down for list of participants
The participants for the 2017 edition of Screen Leaders, the Creative Europe and Irish Film Board (IFB) backed career development programme, have been revealed.
Participants this year are companies in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungry, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal and Spain. They will converge in Ireland for the first module of the programme in June.
Of the companies selected, four are from Ireland: Speers Film, Giant Animation, Calico Pictures and El Zorrero Films (the company behind 2016 comedy doc Mattress Men, pictured).
The initiative assists attendees with operating in the international marketplace.
Andy Mason, co-CEO of Altitude Films, who tutors on the programme, said: “Screen Leaders is a really well thought-out program and even though the level of experience and competence of the chosen participants is extremely high, the main benefits to them are gaining access to additional tools and insight to help them navigate their companies through the ever changing environment of film and television.”
Screen Leaders programme director Helen McMahon added: “We are delighted to have secured a group of top international executives onto the 2017 programme and we look forward to working with them on the strategic development of their companies.
“We aim to provide the participating companies with the skills they need to build sustainable businesses in a complex and ever-changing international marketplace and the opportunity to focus on and invest in their own personal leadership and their companies’ evolution.”
