Season 3 kick-off with festive ending!

Join us for the Gewächshaus monthly get-together for filmmakers: an afternoon of open discussion and exchange. We regularly invite inspiring guests to share their hands-on experience and creative journeys, equipping filmmakers with the insight they need to navigate and succeed in the industry.

In a world hungry for diverse narratives, Learning from the Best offers a peer-to-peer space for filmmakers affected by structural racism to tell their own stories, on their own terms.

Further dates: Thu 15.10.2026, 2–5 pm | Thu 12.11.2026, 2–6 pm | Thu 10.12.2026, 2–5 pm | Thu 14.01.2027, 2–8 pm
