We are thrilled to unveil an intense and exciting 2025 RE-ACT calendar, rich of activities designed specifically for the professionals coming from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
A unique opportunity to get a deeper insight into international coproduction skills, benefit from personalized mentoring, and to create new connections with international documentary professionals!
Thanks to the partnership with RE-ACT, in 2025 the second of the three sessions composing the yearly international EURODOC program will take place in Ljubljana (Slovenia), at the Eurostars uHotel (Miklošičeva cesta 3).

The workshop is open to Producers or Directors-Producers with a film project at the development stage. The projects can be at different stages: early development, development or in production. One seat can be reserved for a Producer at an important stage of their career who wants to come without a project.

The training initiative is organised by the RE-ACT Regional Audiovisual Cooperation and Training in partnership with the
CEE Animation Workshop and the Slovene Animated Film Association.
The 4-day workshop is aimed at film producers who are working on their first animation projects or who have no previous
experience of animation but would like to enter this industry in order to co-produce animation projects. The focus is on
strengthening co-operation between the countries and territories of the RE-ACT member states: Friuli Venezia Giulia
(ITA), Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia.
The intensive training will offer a balanced combination of practical exercises led by two experienced animation film
producers, Anna Mroczek (Poland) and Ilan Urroz (France), group work, lectures, case studies and in-depth information on
the animation industry in the region and beyond. In the evenings, the workshop will be combined with parallel animation
industry events in the region, bringing together around 100 film professionals for networking and exchange among
participants.
The training is aimed at 8 participants, with or without a project, who would like to improve their understanding of
animation production in the field of co-development and co-production and enter this field. The focus will be on
producer skills, but additional information will also be provided on the creative involvement of producers in
