*WHAT IS SOFA?*

We don’t aim to educate film directors or producers. We support film
initiators and catalysers with unique project ideas in cinema promotion.

Eight selected participants will be trained in various creative fashions,
to reach local and international cinema-goers, and given the opportunity to
make ties beyond borders.

With the help of experienced lecturers you will receive a tailor-made
coaching which enables you to realise your dream project efficiently. Our
workshop connects you with decision-makers and high-level professionals in
film industry. The rest is up to you!

SOFA–School of Film Agents is scheduled from *21–30 August 2015*. All
lectures are provided free of charge. We are glad to fund your
accommodation and much more. You’re only asked to take care of your travel
costs to Poland and back. If you do not find a way to get your travels
financed, you may apply for a SOFA scholarship.

All participants are coached on-the-scene by Oliver Baumgarten (journalist,
programme director), Ewa Puszczyńska (producer, Ida) and Nikolaj Nikitin
(film curator, head of SOFA– School of Film Agents). Berlinale director
Dieter Kosslick acts as godfather for SOFA– School of Film Agents and
