Pro Hub 2026

IFFR Pro presents a series of enlightening panel discussions that bring together filmmakers, producers, funders, and leading industry professionals to explore timely topics – from solidarity for filmmakers under pressure to Asian genre cinema and putting sex on screen.

Join IFFR Pro’s team of veteran industry insiders for sessions aimed at giving emerging film professionals practical insights and vital targeted knowledge.

The Pro Encounters are casual networking round tables designed to help filmmakers connect with industry experts and key festival programmers. These constructive sessions offer a great chance to expand your network, share ideas, and discuss any questions or challenges with experienced professionals in a relaxed and supportive setting.

IFFR Pro gives filmmakers the unique opportunity to pitch to decision makers and professionals from the film industry and to receive constructive feedback on the style of the pitch and the viability of the project.

Filmmakers are invited to take one-to-one meetings with an expert mentor. These industry insiders can provide important advice, guidance, coaching and inspiration to the filmmakers. Take a look at the mentors, their expertise and book meetings via the form.
