Emerging producers is a promotional and educational training which brings together talented European documentary film producers organized by Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival Europe.

Every year 18 talented producers are selected to be provided with educational, networking and promotional support. 

Irena Taskovski, CEO and founder of Taskovski Films, is one of the main tutors of the program, already from its beginning. The main part of the 9th edition of the training took place at Ji.hlava IDFF (this year in virtual space)  on October 26–30, 2020.

The second important part will continue in Berlin in February,  but other activities and the promotion of Emerging Producers take place at major film events throughout the year.

The main objective of the programme is to interconnect talented European producers with other film professionals, especially those working in documentary cinematography. The project should also provide the participants with easy access to information in the field of audiovisual industry, deeper and wider orientation in the film market but also help them to establish contacts with producers from other countries, and thus increase the potential of future European co-production projects.
