Abstract

Film festivals are a key element in the film’s industry ecosystem. Film festivals are not a distribution channel and they do not exactly fund film projects and yet they are essential in the development of local film industry.

This paper aims to analyse the specific role of the biggest South-East European Film Festivals in the local industry. Their focus is not only on celebrating great cinematographic works, but also on providing a place where the filmmakers can network and find support for their upcoming projects. These events provide the perfect situation in which a filmmaker can assess the future of cinema, by fitting their personal experience as a key piece of a huge puzzle.
