The Creators’ Room offers practical advice, a Master Class, and workshops dedicated to specific work processes in film production. This year, two short films serve as examples for a Case Study on financing and production.
Director Willy Hans – Kurzfilmtage’s Person in Focus this year – is a founding member of the collective Spengemann, Eichberg, Goldkamp, Hans, among other things. In a moderated Master Class, he will talk about his work as a director and as a member of the collective.
For Reasons to Buy a Film, we’ve invited three industry representatives who work in acquisitions, sales, and festivals to watch selected shorts. The experts will share their views on the most promising sales and marketing strategies for these works.
A maximum of four Swiss short film projects will face an international jury in a public pitch for participation in the Coproduction Forum held by European Short Pitch (ESP) 2023/24.
The FOCAL Script Coaching is also part of the Creators’ Room. The individual coaching sessions for the selected projects take place at Alte Kaserne in the morning.
The Industry Awards Ceremony will be held in the evening.
Admission is free; preregistration is binding.
