Project ID: 101104464

Objective :

Our quantifiable objectives in the next 3 years are: - raise the number of projects in development and reach more diversification in terms of content, genre, scope, development phase, co-production and distribution potential. - optimisation and rationalisation of the film production and development team (full time, part-time, contractual) in order to ensure its steady sustainable development. In practice, the foundation for the realisation of these goals is reflected in the list of Kinematograf’s current activities/projects that comprise the following actions: - stronger presence in professional networks at the European / international professional trainings and co-production markets - contracting creative talent, and European/ international experts (script, marketing, distribution) since the early development phase. Total number of persons benefiting from the three projects is approx 150. In terms of development and production, the editorial line is going through the establishment of permanent coproduction partners (which has already been done - Wake Up Film Serbia, Prime Time BIH, Nukleus Film Slovenia, Art&Popcorn Productions Serbia, Altreforme and DocLab Italy) and the establishment of new ones with which co-production is already being negotiated (Survivance, France and Artbox, Lithuania). The goal is to establish the company’s position on the European and international market initially through pitching forums and markets at the stage of development and pre-production. And in marketing and distribution stage, to establish a company position through festivals, TV and VoD visibilty. Our main goal is to conceive and produce projects that deal with socially relevant issues, nurture innovation in artistic expression and are exciting and provocative enough to leave a mark globally. All these reflects stability of the company and shows the raise in own income. It reflects also the capital retained in the company for investment in future AV projects.
