Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris jednogodišnji je program usavršavanja namijenjen prvenstveno filmskim producentima i distributerima u usponu koji posjeduju diplomu na tom (ili sličnom) području, čiji je cilj uspostaviti mrežu mladih producenata sa sjedištem u Europi koji će raditi zajedno nakon godine studija i izvan nacionalnih granica.
Program su pokrenuli prof. dr. Peter Sehr i prof. Jan Schütte 2001. godine, a okuplja prestižne predavače koji dolaze iz različitih područja filmske industrije, uključujući producente i distributere, autore, redatelje i filmske skladatelje iz Francuske, Njemačke, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i SAD-a.
U sklopu Atelier programa sudionici će biti dio tima od maksimalno 18 osoba, a proći će obuku na različitim lokacijama - Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg u Ludwigsburgu, La Fémis u Parizu te National Film and Television School u Londonu.
Studijska godina podijeljena je na fazu predavanja i praktični rad. U fazi nastave polaznici će produbiti svoje znanje u različitim područjima filmske industrije, što uključuje pohađanje seminara i radionica te proširivanje vještina i iskustva kroz studije slučaja. Teme koje se obrađuju na seminarima uključuju razvoj scenarija, proračun, financiranje, ugovorna prava, planiranje snimanja, snimanje na licu mjesta, promociju, distribuciju i međunarodnu prodaju, dok je cilj specijaliziranih radionica proširiti horizonte – i sagledati filmsku industriju u Europi na drugačiji način.
Drugi dio programa uključuje posjete TV postajama i filmskim festivalima (kao što su Berlinale, Series Mania i Filmski festival u Cannesu) te jednomjesečni plasman u sektoru distribucije ili međunarodne prodaje. Različita odredišta nude posebne mogućnosti za stjecanje novih iskustava, a sudionici će na filmskim festivalima prisustvovati svim projekcijama kao akreditirani stručni posjetitelji. Osim toga, imat će priliku zaviriti iza kulisa filmskog tržišta te uživati u brojnim popratnim događanjima i obilascima, a sve to uz neprestano usavršavanje znanja o organizaciji, ponudi i potencijalu festivala A kategorije. Na kraju obuke polaznici će proizvesti vlastiti kratki film francusko-njemačke koprodukcije, zajedno s ARTE-om i SWR-om, filmskom akademijom i La Fémisom, koji će početi planirati od samog početka studija u Atelieru Ludwigsburg-Paris.
Program će se odvijati od listopada 2024. do kolovoza 2025. u Njemačkoj, Francuskoj i UK-u.
Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris namijenjen je producentima i distributerima u usponu u dobi do 30 godina, koji su diplomirali na filmskom sveučilištu ili drugom relevantnom studiju i stekli profesionalno iskustvo u filmskoj industriji. Program je posebno osmišljen za mlade pravnike, diplomante poslovnog menadžmenta i humanističkih znanosti koji rade u filmskoj industriji i žele nadopuniti svoje specifične vještine intenzivnom i specifičnom obukom u području filmske produkcije.

The Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris is a one-year programme of continuous education aimed primarily at up-and-coming film producers and distributors who have already graduated in a similar field. The aim of the programme is to set up a network of young producers based in Europe who will work together beyond their year of study and across national borders.
The programme was launched by Prof. Dr. Peter Sehr und Prof. Jan Schütte in 2001, and combines prestigious lecturers coming from the most varied fields of expertise in the film industry, including producers and distributors, authors, directors and film composers from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
During the Atelier programme, participants will be part of a team of max. 18 persons, and will undergo the post-tertiary training in different places - the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg, La Fémis in Paris and the National Film and Television School in London.
The year is divided into classroom phases and practical work. In the class work phases participants will deepen their knowledge in the different areas of the film industry, which means attending seminars and workshops and broadening their skills and experience with the help of case studies. The topics covered in seminars include script development, budgeting, financing, contract law, shooting planning, on-site shooting, promotion, distribution, and international sales, while specialised workshops aim is to broaden the horizons – and look at the film industry in Europe with new eyes.
The latter involves excursions to TV stations, film festival visits (such as the Berlinale, Series Mania, and Cannes Film Festival), and a one-month placement in distribution or international sales. The different destinations offer their own special opportunities for first-hand experience, and participants will attend all showings as an accredited trade visitor at the film festivals. In addition, they will have the opportunity to have a peak behind the scenes of the film market and enjoy the many side events and tours, all while constantly increasing their knowledge about the organization, offerings, and potential of a premier, ‘A’ festival. At the end of the training year, participants will produce their own short film, together with ARTE and SWR, the film academy and La Fémis as Franco-German coproductions, which they will start to plan from the very start of the course at Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris.
The programme will take place from October 2024 to August 2025 across Germany, France, and the UK.
The Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris is addressed to up-and-coming producers and distributors aged up to 30, who graduated from a film university or other relevant course and have gained some professional experience in the film industry. The programme is particularly designed for young lawyers, business management and humanities graduates who work in the film industry and would like to supplement their specific skills with intensive and specific training in the field of film production.
In order to take part in the programme, all participants must speak English and be willing to learn German and/or French during the year through regular instruction. After admission, participants must take a language test. If their German and/or French skills are inadequate, they will have to attend a compulsory crash course (at their own expense), which takes place before the regular programme begins. While classes will generally be held in English, some classes will be held in French or German and supported by simultaneous interpreters.
In order to apply, it is necessary to send your application, accompanied by the following documents, to info-atelier@filmakademie.de in one PDF file: application form, CV with photo, letter of motivation, a portrait of a real, well-known producer, description of a film released for cinemas in the last 24 months and that greatly impressed you, copy of high school diploma and degree certificate, proof of at least 6 months practical experience in the film industry and at least 4 weeks set experience, proof of proficiency in German or English and a scan of identity card or passport. The application deadline is May 31, 2024! If your application is positively received, you will be invited to Ludwigsburg or Paris for an entrance examination in June/July 2024.
The course fees are 1,500 euros, plus costs for accommodation in Ludwigsburg, Paris, Cannes, and London (3,400 euros). The Atelier will organise and cover the cost of accommodation for excursions and festivals.
