Participation in T-Port TalentBridge at Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival 2026

In February I had the opportunity to participate in the first cohort of the T-Port TalentBridge programme during the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and its industry platform, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market.

TalentBridge is a training initiative organised by T-Port that brings emerging filmmakers together with industry professionals through workshops, networking sessions, and discussions about navigating the international short film landscape. The programme focuses on practical strategies for developing projects, building collaborations, and understanding the structures of the film industry.

Participating in the sessions during the festival was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with filmmakers from different countries and to gain insight into how new projects can move from development to production and distribution.

I would like to thank the Netherlands Film Fund for supporting the costs of my participation and making this experience possible.
