Sharing passion

We believe in the power of well-told stories

Our experience confirms that a well-built plot, compelling characters and a clear vision of a film or series are the pillars for success. We systematically tailor the principles of dramaturgy to craft an individual approach that supports creators in achieving their visions and telling their stories, regardless of genre.

What we value at MIDPOINT is the ambiance of its programs. Professional, yet supportive and collaborative – motivated by the shared passion for discovering stories together.

Friendliness

Our highly professional tutors and accomplished experts and collaborators promote an open-minded and friendly approach that respects each individual and his/her vision.

Continuous feedback

We continually evaluate every aspect of our programs and methods, relying on participant input to identify strengths and weaknesses, relevance and benefits in order to implement improvements.

We focus on Central and Eastern European filmmakers, but also strive for maximum diversity and inclusion. Professionals from other countries and backgrounds are warmly welcomed to stimulate collaboration, foster international co-productions and to further enrich the European film and series industry.
