AMPI+

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT OUR ACTIVE OPEN CALLS.

AMPI+ Workshops are designed to provide advanced training for the Academy of Moving People and Images (AMPI) alums and other filmmakers from diverse backgrounds with prior filmmaking experience. The participants are selected or invited from AMPI alums and new AMPI+ calls are made specifically for this purpose.

All of the AMPI+ intensive workshops are hands-on, tailored according to participants’ wishes and needs, and facilitated by expert tutors and industry professionals.

The first AMPI+ Workshops were kindly supported by AVEK Audiovisual Centre, and  TAIKE – Arts Promotion Centre Finland. AMPI+ Workshops in 2023 are happening with the support of the Kone Foundation.
