Producers Selected for ACE Training Days NL 2026

For the 2026 ACE Training Days NL ACE has selected 12 producers. Taking place on 13 – 14 October in Leiden and Amsterdam, the workshop will focus on “Project Positioning & Film Marketing; From Development to Release”.

The ACE Training Days NL is a tailor-made programme designed for emerging producers at relatively early stages in their careers, who are looking to expand their network and learn more about the international context of the audiovisual industry. The workshop welcomes producers working in fiction, animation and documentary, and strives to make the industry more inclusive and diverse.

This interactive programme will include plenary sessions, case studies, networking opportunities, and group meetings provided with the help of ACE consultants who have notably strong track-records in film marketing, international co-production, audience research, and distribution.

The ACE Training Days NL has been set up in collaboration with the Netherlands Film Fund, a key funder of ACE Producers.
