Eve Gabereau of the UK’s Modern Films and Denmark’s Monica Hellstrom are among 18 independent producers selected for ACE 33, the latest intake for the ACE Producers Network.
The 18 producers from 17 different countries will attend three workshops throughout 2023 and 2024 with independent feature projects. The workshops will take place in Norway in October, on content development; in Warsaw, Poland in November, on financing strategies; and finally in France, looking at business strategies.

The producers will then join the ACE Network following the 2024 ACE meeting in Bordeaux, France.
London-based Gabereau is founder and CEO of distributor Modern Films, and is participating with a project called Cold Enough For Snow to be directed by Jemima James.
Hellstrom, who produced three-time Oscar-nominated Flee through her Strom Pictures, has applied with Bethlehem, to be directed by Larissa Sansour and Soren Lind.
Further producers include Bosnia’s Adis Djapo, whose credits include Teona Strugar Mitevska’s The Happiest Man In The World; and Agnieszka Wasiak of Poland’s Lava Films.
The producers “each bring their own expertise and perspective; they will make a fantastic addition to the ACE Network” said Jacobine van der Vloed, ACE director and head of studies, who sat on the selection committee alongside ACE president Antoine Simkine, members of the ACE Network and independent consultants
