Director's Village 2022

Director's Village is a 4-day on-site European residence program to enhance and develop the skills of the most promising directors-writers from the future and to help them prepare for their next (short film) project. It is a unique training program organised by CineSud, in collaboration with our dear partners of Screen Talent Europe: Film Workshop Copenhagen, Aarhus Film Workshop, MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein, CineSud, New Noardic Wave, Mediefabrikken, GMAC and FilmCloud.
