The directors, screenwriters and producers of four short-film projects will be invited to attend group sessions and global training activities designed to offer feedback and advice to help them design effective production or distribution strategies for the current stage of their project.

These in-person activities should be attended, at the very least, by the project creator.

Cinema Pendent will not cover any transport or accommodation expenses or the costs of preparing any materials.

The Selection Committee may also decide to consider projects submitted for the Mentoring Projects programme for the following Cinema Pendent programmes:
