2019 edition.
DISCOVER > EXPLORE > CONNeXT.
Come and join us for the fourth edition of CONNeXT to discover the latest completed films and TV Drama series from Flanders, and to explore new projects and works in progress pitched by their respective makers. Networking lunches and dinners will give you the opportunity to connect with the cream of Flemish film- and TV-making talent. New is the documentary section that is added this year. In the afternoon, there are keynotes and panel discussions on industry topics that matter. Curzon CEO Philip Knatchbull is among the confirmed keynote speakers. He is to kick off the Make Cinema Great Again discussion. CONNeXT again precedes Film Fest Gent, so you may want to combine this with a visit to Belgium’s oldest and largest international film festival…
