Networking Event at the 78th Locarno Film Festival
Together with the Locarno Film Festival ‘BaseCamp’, the Story Lab invites you to a networking and flying dinner at the Istituto Sant’Eugenio on Saturday 9 August at 18:00. Register now.
Simply getting into dialogue – this year’s event focuses on meeting people. The Story Lab aims to break established patterns and facilitate new encounters. We are creating a harmonious framework for this: Up-and-coming talents and industry experts will engage in a direct, informal and low-threshold dialogue over Apéro. Numerous players from the film industry will be on site and contribute their expertise in conversation.
An overview of the experts can be found here on our website in the run-up to the event.
