Industry Programme of Film and Audio-visual Education at SFS 2026
(25–28. 7. 2026)
Summer Film School and the National Film Museum NaFilM The international Industry Programme of Film and Audiovisual Education has been co-organised by the Summer Film School and the National Film Museum NaFilM since 2018. The Industry programme is an international meeting point for everyone interested in the future of film and audiovisual education. Each year, it brings together professionals from across film, education, and culture for several days of lively exchange, international networking, and conversations that matter — from new ways of teaching film and working with young audiences to broader questions of access, inclusion, and the role of cultural institutions in education.
From Saturday 25 July to Tuesday 28 July, the festival’s open programme will bring together film professionals, educators and representatives of cinemas, festivals, galleries, museums, and other cultural and educational institutions. This year, the Industry programme will focus on concrete examples of collaboration between schools and non-formal learning institutions, on new approaches and new media in film and audiovisual education, on ways of engaging young audiences with film heritage, and on developing more inclusive approaches to film education.
With guests from leading international institutions, the programme offers a rare opportunity to discover inspiring projects, exchange experience across borders, and meet peers who are actively shaping the field in different European contexts. The programme is aimed primarily at professional audiences, while remaining open to festival visitors interested in film education and contemporary ways of working with film.
