Aimed at commissioning the next generation of film-making talent in London, Microwave is Film London’s micro-budget feature film-making scheme. Microwave has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2006. In partnership with BBC Films and supported by Creative Skillset, this unique training-through-production scheme offers fledgling talent an avenue into feature production. Microwave has produced seven features, including Eran Creevy’s Shifty and the directorial debut Ill Manors by the director known as Plan B (to be shown at the festival in Cinema Europa on Tuesday, 16 October at 10p.m.).
An integral part to the success of the scheme is the innovative four-day development workshop Microschool International, which gives film-makers the tools to develop their project intensively with top industry professional and talent. Film London Microwave is teaming up with Zagreb Film Festival, the British Council and Croatian Audiovisual centre to deliver the first Microschool International during the festival for 11 teams of emerging Croatian film directors (filmmakers).
