A great opportunity is given to film and television students in Greece thanks to Oxbelli. Like every year, this year in collaboration with the National Film and Television School of England (NFTS) organizes a series of professional seminars on film and television, specifically designed to meet the current needs of the audiovisual production industry in our country.

The seminars are attended by well-known professionals who, thanks to their work, have filmed the best productions of international scale, such as Sherlock Holmes, The Passenger, Everest, BBC Special: Odd One Out or the Harry Potter film series. They will pass on their experience, thus providing a comparative advantage to the students who will study with them.

In recent years, Greece has become one of the most attractive destinations in the world for filming television and film productions. Economic incentives to attract foreign manufacturers, the natural and historical environment, the climate of the country and the professionalism of the Greek workshops put Greece on the “map” for the greater development of the seventh art.

Thus, Oxbelly aims to further strengthen the Greek audiovisual production industry. The program that runs on November and December 2022designed for both professionals and people wishing to enter the film and television industry.
