As a part of Discovery Campus and the Black Nights Film Festival, Black Room brings together filmmakers working in the Art Department and aims to build bridges between creatives and encourage new international collaborations. The leading idea of the masterclass is a collaboration in order to expand our network, spark new ideas and get inspired, find new projects for the future and gain knowledge from others experiences.

The participants will be able to attend panels and masterclasses led by award-winning professionals and industry leading companies and partners. From each session, the participants can gain practical knowledge and possible new connections to advance their careers.

The participants can also join other Discovery Campus open lectures and take part in speed meetings to connect with new friends and colleagues. This is all possible in November in Tallinn where almost every film area representatives from all over the world come together. This is the place and chance to make your next step.
