A good friend of mine, Filipe, started up a film festival for young, up and coming film makers in 2004. The festival has grown and developed from strength to strength over the past seven years. It is now the second biggest (closely following Berlin film festival) of its kind in the whole world.
The festival runs for one week in June-July. It consists of a variety of workshops, training sessions, networking events etc.. In the past, professionals in the field delivering workshops have included cast from 'Eyes wise shut' amongst other high profile names. It takes place in a beautiful beach town in norther Portugal. The whole package (incl. accommodation,access to all trainings etc.) costs a mere 130 euros!
Definitely a must for any young people wanting to get into the industry - an excellent opportunity for networking!
