Every year, hundreds of students from all over the world come to CAMERIMAGE. For many of them, a week at the festival feels like they are taking part in a short, yet extensive film course. It’s like knowledge given in a nutshell. We know how important the opinion and advice of experienced filmmakers is, especially for young filmmakers who are just at the beginning of this tough and demanding path. That is why this year the Student Etudes Panorama will be followed by a roundtable session for equal and open discussion devoted to cinema. The authors of the presented films will be joined by acclaimed filmmakers Oliver Stapleton, BSC and Stephen Lighthill, ASC. We believe that participants of the roundtable session will gain valuable experience, and not only become acquainted with fellow filmmakers, but also in the process have a unique opportunity for the exchange of knowledge.

After each block of the Student Etudes Panorama, approx. 45 minutes of discussion moderated by Oliver Stapleton and Stephen Lighthill will take place, with the participation of the authors of the screened etudes as well.
