Contest selections are circulated to agencies, producers, and managers looking for emerging directors, proof-of-concept or standalone shorts, and filmmakers across a broad spectrum of backgrounds. Unlike a typical festival, Film Pipeline promotes individual directors and plays an active role in getting content produced and distributed.</p><p>See more <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Scholarships" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">scholarships</a> available on For9a</p><p>&nbsp;See more available <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Trainings-or-Workshops" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">workshops or training</a> on For9a</p><p>&nbsp;See also the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/country/United-Arab-Emirates-UAE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">job opportunities in the UAE</a> on For9a</p>
