Media workshops and meetings
Since its inception in 2004, Media Desk Slovenia has organised several workshops per year. Among them, one of the most important – not just for professionals but also for the larger audience – is unquestionably the workshop which takes place during Kino Fabula (Filmska fabula), an event that aims to build a bridge between literature and cinema. Mediadesk Slovenia organises Filmska fabula in collaboration with the Študentska založba Publishing House and since 2007 it takes place annually in the last weekend of January. Following the nature of the event, the workshop mostly concentrates on different aspects and phases of screenwriting. Each year Media Desk Slovenia invites a well-known expert from the field who then works with students and young professionals. Recent guests have included: Jürgen Wolff, expert for pitching (2007), Jacques Akchoti, consultant for sreenwriting (2008), Christian Routh, consultant for script development (2009) and Miguel Machalski, screenwriting and story development expert (2010).
The second event organised by Media Desk Slovenia that has become a regular yearly appointment is called the Neighbouring Co-production Meeting and it takes place during the Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe). Addressed to producers, decision makers, experts, and interested public, it serves as a platform for new co-production partnerships as well as for gaining knowledge on new technologies.
