US IN PROGRESS PARIS, a three-day works in progress event targeted at American independent filmmakers and European buyers, will take place in the scope of Champs-Elysées Film Festival on June 07-14 2016 in Paris.

The event is looking for 5 US independent films at post-production stage (rough & fine cuts). The call for entries is open till April 8th 2016.

US in Progress is a joint initiative between New Horizons Association (American Film Festival), Sophie Dulac’s Champs-Elysées Film Festival and Black Rabbit Film. It presents independent US films in final production stages to European buyers, post-production houses and festivals in order to help them achieve completion and to foster the circulation and distribution of American indie films in Europe. US IN PROGRESS involves two yearly get-togethers at two different festivals (Paris in June and Wroclaw in October). The next event will take form of two days of exclusive screenings of the 5 selected films (behind closed doors, for registered guests only) and one-to-one meetings on June 10th 2016.

As a bonus to contracts resulting from the presentations and meetings, a jury made of professionals (Europa Distribution, Producer’s Network, Ciné +, Commune Image, Eaux Vives Productions, Firefly, Titra-Tvs, Kickstarter, Centre Phi) will award one of the selected works in progress. The awarded movie will get post-production and promotion services in kind.

The last Paris and Wroclaw editions attracted more than 40 buyers and producers. Alumni of the workshop were selected in Sundance 2013 (I used to be darker, Milkshake, A Teacher), Berlinale 2013 (Hide your smiling Faces, II used to be darker), SXSW 2013 (A Teacher),

Tribeca 2013 (Hide your Smiling Faces, Bluebird), Karlovy Vary 2013 (Bluebird), Toronto International Film Festival 2013 (1982), Sundance 2014 (Ping Pong Summer), SXSW 2015 (Creative Control), Rotterdam 2016 (Actor Martinez), Berlinale 2016 (Nakom).
