Film producer Basel Mawlawi is participating in the EAVE Producers Workshop 2021, focusing on his upcoming feature documentary, Yalla Parkour.
This year 52 producers from 37 countries have been selected out of 220 applications from 52 countries.
As EAVE Head of Studies Lise Lense Møller puts it:
“We … look for very different profiles… (and) do not choose participants based solely on merits or quality of the project. We actively look for diversity – not just in terms of the usual: gender, age, race, nationality etc. – but also in terms of points of view, experience, focus (e.g. on format or genre), company set-up etc. It is our opinion, that the more diverse the group we put together is in any given year, the richer the experience for the participants.”
Yalla Parkour documentary by Areeb Zuaiter and produced by Basel Mawlawi got selected among 16 projects to be part of the Close Up Initiative 2023.
Yalla Parkour is selected at the MEDIMED 2021. Producer Basel Mawlawi and director Areeb Zuaiter pitched the project in front of commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, and financiers.
