29. April 2024: Mobthly Meetup I Berlin
We look forward to seeing you again at our MONTHLY MEET-UP in April. The film sector in Germany offers many different opportunities in Germany; sometimes so many opportunities that you don't know how best to orient yourself. How can I realize my own film project? How can I do this if I have not yet received any major funding or do not have any equipment at my disposal? How can I place my films at festivals? What other opportunities are there to work with film?
Our guests will give us insights into their working environments and share tips and tricks from their own practice. We will also have time to get to know each other and network.
