Launchpad

A partnership between Locarno Film Festival, Thessaloniki International Film Festival, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and IFFR, the main purpose of the Launchpad is to facilitate access to this network of festivals to a group of emerging film professionals, while propelling their career further and wider.

Each festival, industry platform, or market selects a group of participants who will be granted automatic access to all these events for the 12 months following their selection. They receive free industry accreditation together with a series of highlights to guide them through the different programmes. On top of all the in-person networking events, each partner will also host an online introduction meeting as well as a yearly global online get-together with the whole Launchpad community.
