1. Who are we?

Seven  years ago the Warsaw Film Foundation and FIPRESCI began organizing workshops for young aspiring film journalists  from Central and Eastern Europe. FIPRESCI Warsaw Project – Talent Press was designed for critics who are at the beginning of their career but have already been writing about film. Just like in previous editions, this year too they will have a unique opportunity to participate in the Warsaw International Film Festival, one of the most important cinema events in Eastern Europe. Our aim is to create an opportunity for participants, who usually have little chance to go abroad and work in their profession, to work with world-class professionals and be exposed to movie journalism at the highest level.

2. Who are we looking for?

We expect all potential participants to have excellent oral and written communication skills in English. They should also work or study in the area of film,  have published articles in a newspaper, film magazine or on a specialized Web site and be eager to report on films within the framework of the Warsaw Film Festival and the events held during the CentEast Market.The program is designed for critics under the age of 30.

3. What do we expect from the participants?

The participants will  attend editorial meetings with their mentors (be always punctual and prepared) and work in all fields of journalism – they will write interviews, reviews, reports, articles and features on the Warsaw Film Festival and the CentEast Market.We expect the  participants’ attention to be focused on festival events and workshop duties.

4. What do we offer?

The organizers provide accommodation in a youth hostel at no charge and cover travel expenses. Participants will be guided through the Warsaw Film Festival by experienced film critics who work for the world’s leading trade publications. We also guarantee an unforgettable adventure and give a unique opportunity to meet the most interesting contemporary filmmakers from all over the world face-to-face.

    1. Dear Abadi,

      There is no specification to which country this call is open to. We shared the information we had. If you have any questions and concerns please direct to the organizers. What you can do is try and use the e-mail given in the post (the one where you need to send application) to ask whether you are eligible candidate or not.

      Best of luck,
      Mladiinfo team

    2. Yes, the post on mladiinfo is done before the postponement by the organizers, so, please have that in mind before to post comment like yours, we DO HELP people, as we post information immediately we found it, we are not able to follow the postponement date on every single post when we publish around 100 post per month!

  5. Look: Someone stumbles upon this post like today, he is an aspiring critic with great promise, but he says, "Damn, I can't put together my stuff in a day" So he doesn't and he starts working at a McDonalds for the rest of his life, then shoots himself in the head because of mid-life crisis.

    And it is still not updated.

    Regards.

  6. Lovely discussion here!

    Well, to avoid the McDonalds part and the shooting part simply you can check with the organizers. Usually there is an official website or contact e-mail if you really like the opportunity and you can direct all your concerns there. You cannot possibly put all the blame on Mladiinfo for such a dramatic life-story!

    And look: how about you start doing these posts? M?

    Cheers!

    1. Dear visitor,

      Maybe we have different source of information. What else to add – I will ask the admins and see future instructions for the post. In mean time, the post is here, the link is here, so apply if you think that this opportunity is still on.

      Best of luck
