OUR VISION:
We accommodate aspiring filmmakers and invite them to a framework that includes the daily Breakfast with Filmmakers, workshops with industry frontrunners, like ZDF Digital, several Scene-Talks about pressing issues, the Directors Coffee and networking events like Long Nights at the Jipsy Camp and the Gourmet-City-Tour through the city. Every year we present a new partner country (Norway, UK, Iran, Argentina) and dedicate each evening to another theme. We bring together a high-value audience, entertainment industry players, government departments, business leaders and the media to provoke change. Everyone is welcome who shares a passion for film and believes in the power of cinema. With the Arc Film Festival we have established a cultural event in the Rhine-Main area with focusing on artists and their work. Join the platform for filmmakers and film lovers to meet and have inspiring discussions and exiting interactions.
THE AREA:
Although Mainz is an attractive media location in Germany not only because of the ZDF and the University of Applied Science for Timebased Media but also many film-makers live in this city, Rhineland-Palatinate is the only state in Germany with no federal film funding by now. So it´s even more important to offer a platform for movies and an opportunity to connect.
