Student Pitch

Kortfilmfestival Leuven, founded in 1995, presents an annual selection of short films, ranging from fiction and animation to documentaries and non-narrative films. This year, Sabam will once again be present with a pitching session for emerging filmmakers and an evening dedicated to its members.

Sabam organises a pitching session for final-year audiovisual arts students: students specialising in fiction, documentary and animation get the opportunity to present their graduation film project to a professional jury made up of experts from each of these genres. Participants are selected through an open call. Based on the submitted applications, the jury selects a shortlist of 15 students who are invited to pitch their film project.

Interested? Check out the open call and apply before 1 November.

Following the pitching session, the jury will award up to ten development grants of €1,000 each to support the production of a graduation film. Rental company Cam-A-Lux will also provide three vouchers worth €3,500 each, allowing the selected projects to rent technical equipment.

The prizes will be awarded that same day during a Sabam Creators Night.
