Programmes
Conferences.
Thirty-two sessions over five days, on six stages. Industry strategy, financing, exhibition tech, policy. The talks that pay for themselves.
Six tracks
Pick yours.
Industry
Co-production economics. Theatrical vs. platform. Slate strategy. Talks for working executives, in plain language.
Finance
Public money, private money, equity gap. With practitioners — Pinewood, Soft Power, the Asian banks who finally lend to film.
Tech
Virtual production. AI in pre-vis. Theatre tech. Where the floor changes between editions.
Policy
Censorship, tax incentives, content quotas, IP enforcement. Drier subject; better food.
Discovery
First-time directors, fresh slates, regional spotlights. The talks that promote the work, not the system.
Closed Doors
Buyers-only and exhibitor-only sessions. By accreditation. The most useful talks of the week.
