Learning from the Best

Gewächshaus Coworking Circle / Thu 18.6.2026, 2 pm–6 pm

Who decides which films are seen, discussed, and remembered? What challenges come with working between institutions, festivals, and independent initiatives? Who gets to be involved in these fields? What networks of care and solidarity are needed within, across, and beyond the field?

Join us for our season finale, a D–Arts × Gewächshaus crossover! We’ll dive into Djamila Grandits’ experiences working across programming, curation, funding, film mediation, moderation, and festival ecosystems. Together, we’ll explore the many forms of labour that help films find their way to the screen and keep them alive long afterwards.

This is our season’s last learning from the best before our summer break. Don’t miss out.

An afternoon of open discussion and exchange where we support each other in getting our work done. We’re teaming up with an inspiring expert to share hands-on experiences and creative journeys. Our program equips filmmakers with the knowledge they need to navigate and succeed in the industry. Learning from the Best provides a safer peer-to-peer space for filmmakers affected by structural racism to tell their own stories on their own terms.

The Coworking Circle is a project of Gewächshaus – BIPOC Film Network in cooperation with Brunnenpassage in the framework of Cultural Transformation Movement (CTM).
