CresCine Future of Skills Roundtable: Ireland Film Professionals
Shaping the Future: Join the CresCine European Film Skills Roundtable
Dear Irish Film Professional,
This is Sten Saluveer, Head of Cannes Next at the Marché Du Film - Festival de Cannes, and industry coordinator at CresCine writing to you.
The European film industry stands at a pivotal moment, and your voice is crucial. In July 2025, the EU will set its multi-year budget framework, which will define the priorities and funding mechanisms for our industry at both the EU level and here in Ireland for the next seven years. This is our collective opportunity to influence the evolution of Europe's film and audiovisual sector, particularly in smaller countries like Ireland.
Your Expertise, Film Industry's Future.
For the past two years, the CresCine consortium—supported by Horizon Europe and comprising Europe's leading research institutions and industry organizations such as Marché Du Film, European Film Academy, Black Nights FF, Storytek, and the Baltic Film and Creative Tech Cluster—has been delivering free, actionable insights to assist European film professionals in navigating these challenging times. Our comprehensive State of European Film report, released recently, offers actionable insights on how you can develop your projects and business. Thousands of professionals have already accessed it. You can find our previous and upcoming insights at crescine.eu.
Now, we're turning our attention to what truly propels our industry forward: skills development.
