The CLOSE-UP CULTURAL EXCHANGE – MIDDLE EASTERN, NORTH AFRICAN DIRECTORS & European emerging producers' program will use the same format,
which has been implemented in the past 14 successful years, a structure that has proven to be highly effective. The filmmakers will participate in four workshops in Morocco, Turkey and Europe, each six-seven days long, during which they will work on their projects' content and economic and artistic aspects, until they complete a full Co-production file, including a trailer, which will be presented at the final workshop in the framework of a pitching forum. At the end of each workshop, all participants will be given Assignments with clear instructions on how to make progress on their projects, in the months leading up to the following workshop. In between workshops, the participating filmmakers will work with their mentors, via Zoom/Skype conversations and emails. The fourth workshop added to the 2020-2021 Co-Production Training Program will be held in Berlin in collaboration with the Heinrich Boll Foundation and is designed to increase the networking possibilities of our selected filmmakers with German & European key decision-makers and strengthen the visibility of the projects within the European cinema industry.
Close-Up's filmmakers will work with personal mentors, leading experts in the field of documentary filmmaking; each mentor will guide 3-4 projects and will accompany the filmmakers through the development process. At the third workshop, the filmmakers will present their projects in a pitching session in front of potential financers from the international documentary market, such as ARTE France, MDR Germany, IKON TV the Netherlands, IDFA-Bertha Foundation, the Danish Film Institute, Sundance Film Institute, Catapult Film Fund (San Francisco based Fund), MEDIMED Industry Market in Spain, Chicken & Egg Pictures NY, Hot Docs Blue-Ice Fund Canada, the Jacob Burns Film Center in NY, and others.

Our main project is Kariérko.cz. An online learning platform designed primarily for students. The platform contains descriptions of different professions, motivational videos, podcasts, and articles from experts and students. All of it is completed by information about current career and self-development opportunities (development projects, scholarship programs, excursions, and internships, study abroad, etc.) shared on social media and in a private Facebook group for active students. We provide them with opportunities to participate in quality educational events and meet professionals in the field from whom they can learn. The aim of the platform is to inspire and motivate young people – especially students – to be proactive, pursue their interests and talents in their own careers, show them the opportunities they have, and inspire them. As one of the focuses of our organization is to develop effective cross-sectorial cooperation, we are also trying to make young people think critically about the content that they are receiving, find their way in their confusing small worlds, and empower them.
