Having a broad management, legal & finance culture to be able to understand the business environment is an absolute must to develop in the long term. Here is some food for thought. 

Young professionals at the start of their career have the choice between two different year-long in-depth courses on the full production, distribution and exploitation cycle supplemented by industry placements: the Franco-german Atelier run jointly by La Fémis and the Ludwigsburg Filmakademie, and the spain-based MEGA run by Media Business School (MBS). For more experienced executives, we propose two high-level training courses: Training the Management of Tomorrow’s Digital Media is a yearlong management course for executives, which provides a solid understanding of how traditional business models are challenged and how the creative industries operate and innovate in the light of today’s digital economy. Screen Leaders EU is a strategic custom-designed company development programme devised for experienced owner/managers (Ceo/CFo). 

We also offer several specialised intensive workshops on legal and finance issues. the Erich Pommer Institut’s Rights Clearance seminar and workshop offers the practical knowledge to identify and clear rights fast and effectively. Both the EPI Legal and Financial Aspects workshops and the EAVE Film Finance Forum provide an update of the latest financial developments and funding sources in europe, co-production and the legal issues involved, tax incentives, the sales and distribution market, banking services and new industry trends.
