By early June, a pre-selection panel comprising members from the Pula Film Festival and United Media will choose the six most promising projects. These selected participants will engage in a workshop, guided by expert mentors, to refine their concepts across two modules.

The first module will be conducted online on July 15th and 16th, 2024, followed by the second module onsite during the festival from July 15th to 17th, 2024.
At the festival, an esteemed jury will evaluate the six projects, ultimately awarding €10,000 to the standout entry.

With a portfolio spanning eight countries and boasting 40 successful projects, United Media has a track record of global adaptation and distribution.
