In today’s audiovisual industry, opportunity is driven by visibility and credibility. Whether you’re a director, cinematographer, editor, producer, or actor, your next collaboration increasingly depends on how easily your work can be found, viewed, and trusted online. Creative Gate is created to answer that need— offering a curated, professional platform for talents and professionals to meet.
Developed by Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event and Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF), Creative Gate is designed to spotlight film and audiovisual professionals in a focused, industry-specific environment. Since its launch, the platform has received strong and encouraging feedback, particularly from emerging filmmakers seeking greater access to the international film community.
“In any industry, especially in the audiovisual industry, online presence is part of the professional identity,” says Egle Loor, Project Manager of Creative Gate. “ Today, a digital footprint often replaces the traditional word-of-mouth introduction. A strong, professional profile helps creatives stand out in a competitive landscape.”
Unlike many other networking platforms, Creative Gate is purpose-built for film and audiovisual professionals. As part of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival’s professional ecosystem, it connects creatives, companies, and service providers across the entire production chain — from development and financing to production and post-production.
The Creative Gate profile serves as a professional industry calling card – creating a profile is currently free for both individuals and organisations. It allows users to showcase credits, skills, and showreels in a sleek, cinematic style, providing a single, polished link that reflects their entire creative portfolio. The platform is a verified database aimed at industry professionals, ensuring trustworthiness and visibility within the creative sector.
As the industry evolves from “who you know” to “who can find you,” Creative Gate encourges professionals to take ownership of their professional image. The platform makes it easier to connect with international producers, co-production partners, and decision-makers actively searching for talent.
With hundreds of profiles already live, Creative Gate is becoming a key reference point for Baltic and Nordic film professionals — with ambitions to connect local talent to global opportunities.
