The Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung has selected the four film projects for their new pilot program. PMMC participant Ginan Seidl receives funding for her project “Moretones”, which she develops with her Mexican co-author, former EMARE MEX fellow Daniel Ulacia. The PMMC alumni network also includes Emerson Culurgioni and Stefanie Schroeder, who will work on the realization of their experimental documentary “La Duna” as part of the programme. The pilot programme offers directors the opportunity to focus entirely on the story, its artistic realization, the work with the actors and protagonists and the development of their own handwriting.
