SOFA School of Film Agents

Allgemeine Informationen

In its 4th edition SOFA – School of Film Agents invites eight young professionals for an intense workshop to Wrocław, Poland. The program’s special quality is build upon its unique target group consisting of film culture managers from Middle and Eastern Europe, the republics of Caucasus and the Balkan States.

SOFA – School of Film Agents doesn’t aim to educate film directors or producers. We support film initiators and catalyzers with unique project ideas in cinema promotion. With the help of experienced lecturers and high-level tutors all participants receive a tailor-made coaching, which enables them to realize their project ideas efficiently.

By analyzing all projects on a high intellectual level and by discussing socio-cultural environments, funding structures and political conditions in a protected educational space, we aim to open film culture discourses towards the East.

And yes, we put our plans into practice: in various creative shapes the selected participants reach local and international cinema-goers and make ties beyond borders. Supporting individual careers, making a 'dream project' come true, developing regional film culture and industry – all at once: this is how SOFA – School of Film Agents works.
