14th May 2013, Paris
Between May 12th and May 14th, 2013, all the NISI MASA roads lead to Paris. The city will host the NISI MASA General Assembly (GA), one of the biggest encounters of the network. During the GA, representatives of the 28 NISI MASA member associations and 5 applying members will discuss and draw up action plans for future projects and strategies of the network in plenary and group sessions.
Young people from all over Europe (France, Germany, Russia, Finland, Norway, Denmark, England, Spain, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and many more) will gather to discuss the future of NISI MASA. They will help plan future projects to maintain the organization’s pioneer status in enhancing the use of new media, while supporting collaboration with its partners and aiming for an expansion of the network. They will present their initiatives in a project pitching fair, with the aim of finding partners to further develop these projects at European level.
Concerning the program, the four Head of Department of NISI MASA, together with the members of the network, will discuss on new forms of filmmaking – namely crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, collaborative filmmaking and kino kabaret. Other topics will include digital distribution and VOD, multimedia forms of filmmaking, transmedia and crossmedia and the use of blogs as creative platforms. Every evening film events and screenings open to the general public will showcase the best short films produced within the NISI MASA network. A brochure with the detailed program will be published to keep all participants fully informed about all the activities.
The purpose of this meeting is to a be an initiator for new projects with a focus on innovation. We expect that at least a dozen European youth audiovisual projects will be initiated in the following two years as a result of the new partnerships created. Developing a new network strategy is also on the agenda, especially focusing on integrating new media for the branding and media strategies of NISI MASA. Several cross-cultural exchanges between the member organizations will be planned and performed in the years 2013 to 2015. This multiplier effect is essential for the assembly itself. The participants are directly incentivized to collaborate, the meeting offering the opportunity to share their ideas with the other partners and realize them later on.
In cooperation with Centre Culturel de Serbie

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
25th - 27th January, Strasbourg (France)
Between January 25-27, 2013 NISI MASA is organizing GENERATOR - Youth Audiovisual Forum in Strasbourg. We are looking for 120 participants aged 18 – 35 who will not only be debating the future of audiovisual culture in Europe along with experts and policy makers, but will also take part in a number of daily workshops. In three days NISI MASA will lead you through a journey of different activities: from a Kino Cabaret, a scriptwriting marathon, Nisimazine workshop to other trainings, seminars and discussion panels on transmedia, youth and audiovisual European funding, alternative ways of cultural funding, to evening screenings.
Expect a NISI MASA festival!
Expect Kino Kabaret, where 40 adrenaline-driven film-makers, will be on a movie making frenzy. On the final evening of the forum your films will be screened and frugal and fun filmmaking will truly make a splash on European audiovisual culture. What is Kino Kabaret?
Expect a scriptwriting marathon where participants will be guided in bringing their ideas closer to the screen by learning about cinematographic story telling through an intense submersion into the world of inspiration, confrontation and going crazy. Battling with a promising idea, the NISI MASA trainers will guide you and help you develop it. Come to Strasbourg and be a part of writing the story of GENERATOR.
To be a part of the Scriptwriting Marathon, click here to apply! (Deadline 28thDecember)
Expect a film-criticism workshop, where an experienced team that has been involved in organizing the many Nisimazine workshops will be there to give you a crash practical course. We will be selecting 20 participants with a passion for cinema and a knack for words who will get a chance to learn more on writing about films. Previous experience in film journalism, professional or otherwise, is not required. We're hoping to help you polish your skills in order to help you make your critical voices heard.
Expect a workshop on genre films moderated by 7 Tape Productions, who will talk about the ways to start a genre based film project, concretely a horror movie – from casting to directing. Also, if you'd like to present your film and get feedback from other filmmakers, the “Feedback Me” panel is just for you.
If you are a cultural manager or work at an NGO, you can participate in culture management trainings provided by experienced trainers from our member associations.
Besides the workshops you'll have the opportunity to attend debates and panels with European audiovisual professionals, experts and policy makers. The NISI MASA member associations will screen films resulted in their previous projects and they will present what they are planning next during a project fair.
For EU citizens NISI MASA is providing free accommodation for 3 nights in CIARUS Hostel and covering 75% of travelling costs (up to 200 Euro) if you apply until December 15, 2012. Participation fee: 20 euros.
