New beginnings or stagnation? How are new digital tools impacting the film industry? The Explorer Konferenz #4 as part of FILMFEST HAMBURG INDUSTRY DAYS (2 to 6 October 2023) invites Executive Producers, financiers, funding institutions and students to take a look at the future of production for cinema, streaming and TV.
WithHighlight Sweden There will be a country focus for the first time, and the special conference programme for students will also be continued this year.
On 6 October from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., German and international speakers will provide insights into their work and strategies and impart future-oriented knowledge on two stages and in more than twelve programme slots at the Katholische Akademie Hamburg. In their contributions, the experts will shed light on current phenomena and developments in an industry that is undergoing radical change. Keynote speeches and case studies will cover topics such as the impact of artificial intelligence on creative work, current changes in film policy, upheavals in the TV and streaming market, the measurable effects of diversity, streamer showcases and much more.

Speakers from Sweden will be travelling to Hamburg with case studies, trend analyses and contributions to debates. A delegation of Swedish conference participants is also expected to attend. The Swedish Film Institute is the partner of this format and national multiplier.
A special young talent programme at the conference is aimed exclusively at students attending Explorer Konferenz #4 as a delegation. This year, around 100 young guests are expected - that's just under a quarter of the total number of participants.
