Call for applications: European Workshop for New Curators #1


The European Network for Film Discourse (The END) and short film magazine Talking Shorts are organising the 1st edition of the European Workshop for New Curators: two week-long workshop sessions for aspiring film programmers and curators set during FILMFEST DRESDEN in Germany (April 2025) and Vienna Shorts in Austria (May/June 2025).

The workshop is aimed at anyone over 18 who is interested in critical and discursive work about (short) films and can participate in both units of the tandem workshop:

06.04—13.04.2025
Workshop at FILMFEST DRESDEN (Germany)

26.05—01.06.2025
Workshop at Vienna Shorts (Austria)

The workshop, which will be held in English, will include theoretical sessions, group discussions, guest lectures, and hands-on curatorial work. In pairs and throughout the two workshop legs, the participants will be expected to curate one short film programme from scratch under an umbrella theme decided by the group.

Ultimately, the programmes will be showcased online on This Is Short and presented to industry professionals within the Talking Shorts community for further booking and distribution.

Applications are open to European residents over the age of 18. Only complete applications in English can be considered. Details can be found here.
