RE-ACT (Regional Audiovisual Cooperation and Training) is a brand new transregional initiative for co-developing audiovisual projects and fostering international co-productions.
 
Set up by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, Friuli Venezia Giulia Audiovisual Fund (IT) and Slovenian Film Centre, RE-ACT has two components: an innovative co-development funding scheme for feature-length projects, and a series of specifically targeted training programmes taking place alongside the annual international Framework workshop at TorinoFilmLab.
 
The initiative is a natural progression, stemming from a successful and long-standing history of cooperation between the three film funds. In the last few years alone, this collaboration has resulted in the development of several training/networking activities, as well as the joint funding of several multi-award-winning co-productions.
 
The RE-ACT initiative has a total annual budget of 120, 000 EUR at its disposal. Its main goal is to facilitate the co-development of relevant, topical and engaging audiovisual stories from the region, as well as offering additional co-development financial support, and opening up new audiences and markets for films capable of travelling beyond their local confines. The co-development funding scheme is intended for filmmakers and producers who wish to co-develop feature length films (fiction, documentary, animation and experimental) and to foster closer creative and business ties between filmmaking communities in Croatia, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia.
 
TorinoFilmLab will play an important role in the RE-ACT initiative over the next three years: it will be the main training and professional platform for the scheme, offering much-needed expertise in script and project development, as well as enabling further collaboration throughout the region.
 
RE-ACT is a joint venture of the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, FVG Audiovisual Fund and Slovenian Film Centre, in cooperation with TorinoFilmLab.
