Over the last two decades European films have lost two-thirds of the cinema-going audience to American films. Among the different approaches and cost structures of the
European and American industries there is one area where the US invest significantly more than Europe: development. Developing Feature Films in Europe is the first comprehensive text on this critical stage of the film-making process. It is
based on extensive research and interviews with more than seventy industry practitioners. It provides details of national and pan-European funds which are available for film development, as well as information about training initiatives for writers and producers. There is also an invaluable directory of contacts, addresses and application procedures for public and private funding bodies throughout Europe. This book provides a wealth of practical advise and information for any film producer, script executive, writer or director aiming
to move their projects from the idea stage into production,
and to exploit the market for their scripts and films. Angus Finney is a writer and consultant on film, media and the arts and is an expert on the European film industry. He is a former Deputy Editor of Screen International and is currently chairman of the Festival Film School, a training initiative aimed at developing new talent in the European industry.
