Applications are now open for the Virtual Production and AI Atelier for Independent Producers, returning for its second edition on 5–7 June 2026 in Warsaw. The workshop will take place in collaboration with ATM Virtual, one of Poland’s leading studios for real-time production.
This in-depth workshop is designed to equip independent filmmakers and audiovisual professionals with practical, hands-on knowledge of virtual and real-time production, a technology that is rapidly transforming the film and TV industry.
Supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA programme, the masterclass specifically targets beginner to intermediate-level producers, line producers, and production managers from smaller markets or working with limited budgets. The event aims to demystify complex virtual production techniques and demonstrate how they can be used effectively in independent productions, enabling creative storytelling, cost efficiency, and logistical innovation.
Virtual production combines LED screens, camera tracking, and real-time rendering technologies to replace traditional green screens and location shoots with fully immersive digital environments. While widely used in major studio projects, this masterclass focuses on how the same tools can empower smaller productions with limited resources.
Participants will explore the full virtual production pipeline — from concept development to on-set execution and post-production integration — through a pragmatic and creative lens. They will also shoot their own micro-project, to get first-hand experience of a virtual production.
Participation fee: 200€ per person; 510€ per team of 3 participants; 640€ per team of 4 participants. The fee includes the session, joint dinner, and coffee breaks.
PS! The full programme will be published next week!
