Pro Hub
The Pro Hub welcomes industry guests and filmmakers to join panels, workshops and mentor meetings – providing a meeting place and networking environment for the whole filmmaking and professional community at the festival.
Pro Hub 2026
At IFFR 2026, we’ll also again welcome industry guests and filmmakers to join panels, workshops and mentor sessions. The Pro Hub is conceived to encourage and enable emerging and established filmmakers in their work, introducing them to the international film industry and equipping them with the insights and connections needed to move ahead.
As part of its extensive industry programme this edition, the Pro Hub will host intimate Meet the Expert sessions, covering topics including making films on a limited budget, impact producing and audience design, and development producing for director-driven projects.
More details will be published shortly.

“If you make stuff that’s brilliant, it will get seen eventually”: Samm Haillay on Pro Hub mentoring at IFFR 2025
“A lot of the time people come to me and say, ‘I’ve made one film, what do I do now?’”, says Samm Haillay, award-winning English producer and expert IFFR Pro Hub mentor at IFFR 2025. “It’s a very hard question to answer because we’re all wondering what we should do next. I’ve made 11 films and I’m still designing what I’m doing next.”
