The Austrian newcomer initiative Cinema Next invites 8 up-and-coming filmmakers from Austria to the 7th Cinema Next Europe Club, which will take place from 28 April to 2 May as part of Crossing Europe. The practice-oriented programme is aimed at people who are working on their first feature film project and can benefit from the festival content and the exchange with other young filmmakers. The programme includes presentations of their own projects and participation in an industry event, including input sessions with selected European film professionals.
Details about the Cinema Next Europe Club can be found on the Cinema Next website; the application deadline is on 27 March 2026.
