The European Genre Forum has selected seven projects to take part in its first training cycle, starting in April this year. With seven projects from six countries, the projects are well spread out geographically. The stories reflect the wide variety of fantastic cinema, from the folk legend of Striguni to the supernatural tragedy of Hum and from the search for dreams in The Woolgatherer’s Store to the cannibals of Family Dinner. There is Celtic legend in The Leprechauns, a sea monster in Mindscape, a sex date gone wrong in Thaw and a mix of heist and horror in Sewer.
 
First wave of selected projects:
Family Dinner - Capra Films (Austria)
Hum - Parsley Productions (United Kingdom)
The Leprechauns - Causeway Pictures Ltd (United Kingdom)
Mindscape - Bruno Isaac (Portugal)
Striguni - Ziva Productions (Croatia)
Thaw - Demeter Films (Spain)
The Woolgatherer’s Store - Fast & Loose Productions (The Netherlands)
 
All participants will attend The Director’s Lab that takes place during the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam from the 17^th to the 21^st of April. Their programme includes one-on-one sessions with script doctors, a producer’s talk by Brendan McCarthy, a case study of Alexandre Philippe’s Sundance entry 78/52 and a director’s mentoring session by Ben Wheatley.
The Directors’s Lab is followed by the Producer’s Lab as part of Fantastic Zagreb (5-9 July) and a Marketing and Packaging Lab as part of Black Nights Tallinn (24-28 November).
