Where talent meets opportunity

We are excited to showcase this remarkable collection of short films, featuring 14 exceptional works from 18 talented participants selected for T-Port’s industry workshop at the 2025 Festival de Cannes. This diverse group, which includes directors, producers, and actors, brought their unique stories and perspectives to the program, making it a truly global and dynamic experience.

Throughout the festival, they had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders from major sales agents and festivals like Locarno, Berlinale, San Sebastian, POFF, TIFF and more. Their dedication and passion were evident as they navigated invaluable networking opportunities, honing their craft and building relationships supporting their future projects. The workshop culminated in a celebratory moment during the Cinéma de Demain – SFC industry RDV at the T-Port Happy Hour, where they shared their achievements with an audience of hundreds of industry professionals and filmmakers. This exceptional group, representing cultures across Europe, MENA, North America, Asia and beyond, has created a lasting bond, supporting one another throughout their journey and forging connections that will continue to shape their careers.
