Showcasing student film work

For the first iteration of the event, a handful of current AUC student short films from GIE, Film Lab and Documentary courses will be screened, along with an independent film project. 

Q&A with filmmakers and alumni: careers, funding and advice

The post-screening Q&A will take place with the filmmakers and will be led by AUC alumni who are currently involved in diverse forms of film production (and related milieus) in the Netherlands. The alumni will then be invited to open up the Q&A to questions regarding their own trajectories with insights into their fields/industries, also in terms of funding possibilities, local collective initiatives, festivals and distribution and just some down-to-earth advice.
