Talent development for film and TV

Film i Skåne works thoroughly, intensively, and long-term with talent development on multiple levels. The goal is to create conditions for a stable industry, with opportunities for new voices and new skills, where continuity and long-term collaboration are in focus.

In talent development, Film i Skåne focuses on individuals as much as on film projects. Great importance is placed on tailoring solutions and offering support and efforts for the deep development of creators and filmmakers.

We are active in several networks, both nationally and internationally, and have been members of Screen Talent Europe (STE) since 2015. STE is a network of European film organizations focused on talent development, and in addition to exchanging experiences, knowledge, and methods, the network organizes activities for filmmakers every year.

From 2021 to 2023, Film i Skåne focused our talent development efforts on the talent programs Programmet-Kortfilm and Programmet-Långfilm. These initiatives aim to discover new voices in film and to strengthen existing voices in the industry. The goal is to achieve a diversity of strong expressions, creators, and companies in Skåne.

In summary, our talent development efforts aim to address the elements that many filmmakers often say they need to grow as filmmakers: networks, access to film funding and the industry, visibility, feedback, trust, space for exploration, as well as training, skill development, knowledge, safe spaces, advice, and inspiration.
