Montenegro Film Rendezvous is a pioneering initiative by the Film Centre of Montenegro, dedicated to fostering networking between the Montenegrin and European film industries, and supporting the career development of Montenegrin film authors and professionals. The event was created as a carefully curated gathering that brings film professionals and authors together in a friendly environment that inspires and fosters new ideas.
The vision for Montenegro Film Rendezvous is to become a recognizable and significant event in the film world. By actively integrating Montenegro into the European audiovisual landscape, this initiative aims to elevate the standards of the local film industry and raise European film professionals' awareness of local industry, authors, and professionals.
The carefully designed three-day program includes presentations of Montenegrin film projects in various stages of development, Q&A sessions, workshops with distinguished professionals from the industry, and discussions with representatives of film funds to explore new co-production opportunities. During the program, the Film Centre of Montenegro showcases a selection of diverse film projects, providing participants with opportunities to engage in discussions, workshops, and presentations aimed at creating new connections and strengthening the film community.
Through this program, guests can also learn more about Montenegro's beautiful landscape, rich history and culture, and its people. The Montenegrin authors who take part have crafted intriguing tales that show what Montenegro is today—the constant clash of tradition with modernity, the never-ending battle for female empowerment, and what it means to be a citizen of Montenegro in the 21st century—while distinguished guests from all over Europe are reminded that great stories are just around the corner.
