Tampere Film Festival Is Organising an Open Call for Industry Events

Tampere Film Festival is trying something new and organises an Open Call for Industry Events of the 2026 festival! If you are interested in organising an industry event focusing on the film industry, you can submit your idea using the application form:

Application Form (Google Forms)

The application form is open 16 October – 30 November, 2025.

Tampere Film Festival will select the most suitable events for the 2026 festival from among the applicants. Submitting your idea does not guarantee that the event will take place. Those selected will be notified at the beginning of December, and the professional programme will be published around mid-January. The festival will be held from 4 to 8 March 2026.

What we offer to event organisers:

• Venue with equipment (Presentation technology and sound system, stage with furniture, maximum 80–100 seats. Special requests will be negotiated separately.)
• The venue manager and a volunteer will help with the practical arrangements of the event on site.
• Promoting the event through the festival’s media channels, such as social media, newsletter and festival letters.
• Accreditations for the organiser’s core personnel.

What we expect from the event organisers:

• Event information in Finnish and English.
• Practical implementation of the event and acquisition of potential speakers/performers.
• At least one of the organisers or a person appointed by the organisers must be present at the event.

At Tampere Film Festival, industry events refer to events that are of particular interest to industry professionals and focus on the film industry or a related field. You can find examples of industry events at the 2025 festival on the Industry Programme page.
