STANISŁAW ZABOROWSKI WITH EMERGING PRODUCER TITLE





Stanisław Zaborowski received the Emerging Producer title, which is awarded at the International Documentary Film Festival in Jihlava, Czech Republic.

Emerging Producers is the flagship program of the International Documentary Film Festival in Jihlava and the only one of its kind distinction for young producers of documentary films, primarily from Europe. The program takes place for the sixth time.

The Emerging Producers program

Emerging Producers is a promotion and education program. Every year, the organizers choose 18 talented producers (17 from Europe and 1 representing the host country of the festival – this year Chile), to whom they  provide educational support, contacts and promotion. The main objective of the program is to help in establishing contacts with producers from other countries, thus increasing the potential of future European co-productions. The main part of the project takes place in Jihlava during the International Documentary Film Festival at the end of October. Other activities and promotion of Emerging Producers will take place during the most important film events throughout the year.

112 graduates of the program

The Emerging Producers program has, after six editions, 112 professionally prepared graduates of the project, many of whom already have extensive production achievements and awards at the most important film festivals around the world.
