Talent Demo

How it works

Each year, we pick a group of participants who get a unique opportunity to meet respected professionals from the film industry- cinematographers, directors, editors, agents, and producers.
1:1 meetings take place over coffee at the Artystyczna restaurant in the Festival Center CKK Jordanki.
Each participant will meet with two experts, based on the requirements presented in the application. We do our best to match you with the right creator. Both meetings will take approx. 30 minutes each.
In past editions, many acclaimed filmmakers were part of the Talent Demo crew.
Participants are chosen based on the applications submitted to the Festival organizers.
Our expert are chosen based on the applications from participants invited to the program; names of the experts will be announced closer to the festival's date.

Fill in the form at Camerimage Portal (available after logging in). Participants are selected based on the applications. The application process for Talent Demo 2026 will begin at the turn of September and October.

Application fee
