The EAVE Producers Workshop 2026 is an international professional training program for experienced film, documentary, and television series producers. Its goal is to strengthen coproduction skills and expand participants’ professional networks across Europe and beyond.
The program consists of three week-long residential workshops: the first in Luxembourg, the second in Bolzano, and the third in autumn at a location to be confirmed. During these workshops, participants work in groups with experts in script development, financing, legal aspects, marketing, and project presentation, and present their projects to commissioners, funders, and sales agents from the European industry.
Projects in fiction, documentary, and television series at various development stages, from pre-production to post-production, are accepted. The call is international, open to producers worldwide, with scholarships available for European residents and candidates from other regions, promoting diversity and inclusion. The application deadline is August 18, 2025.

La Fill the Gap Initiative está dirigida a productores de animación que participaron en el Cartoon Forum 2024 y aún no han completado el financiamiento de sus proyectos. Su objetivo es brindarles visibilidad y oportunidades de networking para cerrar la brecha financiera y avanzar hacia la producción.
Los productores seleccionados deben contar con al menos el 70% del presupuesto asegurado, tener un canal de televisión comprometido y entregar un tráiler de 30 a 45 segundos para presentar su proyecto. Los participantes también deben comprometerse a asistir a las sesiones de matchmaking organizadas durante el evento.
La iniciativa incluye la difusión del tráiler en el Coffee Show, participación en sesiones de matchmaking con compradores, agentes de ventas y coproductores potenciales, así como presencia en la aplicación móvil del Cartoon Forum. Se prioriza la diversidad geográfica y se da preferencia a proyectos que no estén presentando un nuevo proyecto en la edición siguiente del Cartoon Forum.
La fecha límite de entrega del tráiler es el 18 de agosto de 2025, y las presentaciones se realizarán el 18 de septiembre de 2025 en Toulouse, Francia, durante el Cartoon Forum. Esta iniciativa busca facilitar la finalización del financiamiento y la conexión con socios estratégicos.

Izaña Lab is designed by a team that faces the challenge of filmmaking daily, who understands that a film is the result of continuous trial and error processes. The entire process is, in reality, a laboratory, where the experiment is tested, analyzed and repeated. Each film is a prototype, and although we dream of replicating success stories, reality shows us that the way to position a product as unique as a cinematographic creation in the market requires inventing new formulas that fit each case.
