LIM2023
Call for Ukrainian Filmmakers
Open until Tuesday 10 January 2023 – noon UTC+2
In January 2023, LIM will select 4 filmmakers from Ukraine to develop their 1st, 2nd or 3rd feature film project.
LIM is welcoming four writers / directors from Ukraine, applying with a fiction project at an early stage of development. LIM is also open to candidates coming from theatre, documentary and visual arts.
LIM programme includes three one-week workshops between March and October 2023, as well as a tailor-made Event, LIM MEET, where the filmmakers will meet producers, coproducers and sales agents coming from all over Europe.
This Call for Projects is proposed together with TERRARIUM, the plateform for scriptwriters settled in Kyiv.

A Webcam shot in one take, as simple as possible, no editing.
Should just be you telling us the story you have in mind, taking us close to your main character(s) struggle.
Give as much as possible a vision of where the story goes (beginning, middle and end), what will be the drive, as well as the atmosphere. Please, try to take/catch us even if you’re in a very beginning stage of development.

The participation fee is free for all the 4 Ukrainian projects selected in 2023. In addition to workshop training, on-line sessions, accommodation and subsistence during the workshops, LIM will cover travel costs.
