CINEPORT FILM TALK | Where Young Directors Meet the Industry

A Moment of Connection Begins with a Short Film

FILM TALK is a 1:1 online meeting program held during the CINEPORT festival period, connecting emerging directors with industry professionals.

It’s not a typical talk session — it’s a genuine space for exchange, where young filmmakers receive feedback Foon their work and discuss their creative direction, career path, and the realities of today’s film industry.

“It’s a Conversation, Not an Interview.”

At its core, FILM TALK is not about evaluation — it’s about dialogue.

Participating directors can receive advice on their career, creative vision, and production process, based on their showcased films.

For industry professionals, it’s an opportunity to meet promising new talents, explore future collaborations, or discuss the potential expansion of a short film into a larger project.

In short, FILM TALK serves as a bridge between discovery and development.

From Conversation to Opportunity, From Opportunity to Collaboration

Sometimes, FILM TALK becomes a space for mentorship. Other times, it becomes the starting point for new partnerships or feature-length projects.

More than just a networking session, FILM TALK embodies CINEPORT’s mission — to build a sustainable creative ecosystem that supports emerging filmmakers beyond the screen.

“CINEPORT is a platform where films made by young creators are discovered by the world.”

FILM TALK is the moment when that discovery turns into a meaningful connection.
