Industry Activities
Industry activities are a cornerstone of FEST, establishing themselves as one of the most comprehensive programs in the national landscape.
During FEST week, renowned names from the film industry come to Espinho to share their professional experiences across a wide range of areas. From sound and post-production to casting and performance, cinema professionals—whether at the start of their careers or already established—will find an activity of interest in our program.
The program includes masterclasses and workshops in the Training Ground, the Sound and Music Hub, a day dedicated to sound in cinema, Pitching Forum sessions featuring pre-selected projects, debates tailored for directors at the Director’s Hub, and the latest addition, Music Walk With Me, which brings together music and cinema during FEST’s famous nightlife.
Join us on this journey of discovery and learning! The 21st edition of FEST will take place from June 21 to 29, 2025, with industry activities scheduled from June 23 to 28, 2025.
