ProPro: The Producers Programme for Women - call for applications

ProPro is a comprehensive program tailored to support and advance women in the producer or other leadership role within the European film industry. A week-long, immersive workshop in Vienna, taking place from the 2nd until the 6th of June, is followed by individual mentorship sessions. The programme is tailor-made to the concrete needs of specific participants, who gain practical skills in leadership and team management, define their unique selling points for their projects as well as companies, master negotiation, and enhance presentation skills. Participants choose a focus on project-development or company strategy.

Producers who apply to the program with a specific film- or tv- project, will be able to work on its further development, led by mentorship of international established women producers, and concrete examples and case studies. All participants will explore strategic business models, financing, and marketing approaches, positioning themselves effectively in the evolving film production landscape, through hands-on sessions.

A key focus is on industry insight, including a deep dive into system analysis, networking, and learning from the careers of successful women producers. Participants receive personalised mentorship from top international women producers and experts through group sessions, one-on-one meetings, and two follow-up sessions. Public events, panels, and lectures open parts of the program to a wider industry audience, sharing valuable expertise, sparking dialogue, and building connections.

Application deadline: 10 February 2025
