LOS ANGELES – Discovery Days, formerly the International Project Discovery Forum (IPDF), the industry section of the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF) and a Los Angeles pioneer in the promotion of international independent film development, is calling for entries.

Utilizing the innumerable cinematic resources in Los Angeles, the aim of Discovery Days is to create a bridge between two very different worlds – those of American and European independent cinema. The forum takes place June 7-11 and includes a 4-day development lab in Los Angeles with 6-8 selected filmmakers, as well as a series of roundtables, workshops, and masterclasses. For the participating filmmakers, the development lab culminates in an audiovisual presentation by each project’s representative(s) before a jury of film industry professionals.

The extended deadline is March 4.
