Producers from European Union, its eastern neighbourhood and Balkan region have just over a week to finalise their submissions to the 5th edition of Emerging Producers programme, focused on talented documentary film producers.

Emerging Producers is an industry flagship project of the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival (Czech Republic) and the only one of its kind designed for documentary film producers in Europe.

Every year 18 talented producers are being selected and provided with educational, networking and promotional support. While the main part of the project takes place at Jihlava IDFF annually at the end of October (this year between October 26-30), further activities and the promotion of Emerging Producers take place also at other major film events throughout the year.

As of today and after four successful editions, 71 film professionals are alumni of the project, many of whom have already become established in the film world and receive prizes at major film festivals around the world. Their list is here.
