Panel Discussion: Can Film Schools Keep Up with the Industry?

The film industry is changing faster than ever, and the question remains: can film schools keep up? Is it really true that some skills are to be learned only on set, or can schools and training programs deliver market-ready professionals and nurture creative voices at the same time? This panel brings together perspectives from film schools - Warsaw Film School, FAMU, Aalto University. Together, we will discuss how to bridge the gap between education and the industry, whether we are truly preparing students for the demands of the market, and how to balance technical upskilling with artistic development.
