Kurzfilmtage’s Industry Events consist of the Swiss Film School Day, the Industry Lab, and the Creators’ Room. They offer film professionals an opportunity for networking and for discussing current issues, creative methods, and aesthetic trends.
Industry LabThis year’s Industry Lab is dedicated to the theme «Collectives». The term encompasses a variety of structures that are common in the film industry. The idea of joining forces to achieve goals collectively is inherent to film production. Apart from its ideological and ethical dimensions, which inevitably carry political connotations, a collective is also a specific organizational structure that entails unique opportunities and challenges. The motivations for collaborating in collectives are just as diverse as the ways in which these groups work and position themselves within the film scene. 
Filmmaker and scholar Libertad Gills offers an introduction to this multifaceted topic in this year’s Keynote Speech, which is followed by several panels devoted to in-depth discussion of specific aspects. 
The Market Meetings are back: we are once again inviting filmmakers to make initial contacts in the industry. The speed-dating format offers an informal, accessible setting for conversations with professionals who work in festivals, production, and distribution.
