Speed Dating – Meet The Industry

The speed dating event offers emerging filmmakers the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, get to know companies and initiatives, and better orient themselves within the German film industry – from distribution and international sales to production and festivals.
In 10-minute one-on-one meetings with professionals, you can exchange insights about the current market and the future of film.

Please note that this event is not intended as a setting for job applications or pitching projects, but rather as an opportunity to learn more about the profession, career paths, and the current state of the film market.

If you are interested, please send an email to by 4:00 PM on April 23 including the name(s) of the professional(s), a brief explanation of why you would like to speak with them, and whether you would prefer to conduct the conversation in English or German. You will receive confirmation directly via email, including your assigned time slot.
