Press moment atmosphere 🎬
Voices presenting months of work.
Journalists taking notes.
The room listening.
At Kinepolis Oostende, the energy shifted.
Master of FFO26: Ruth Becquart ✨
A strong opening. A strong theme.
Films • Competitions • Industry events
So much to discover
What I’m learning here is that a festival is more than screenings.
It’s storytelling, strategy, community building, public engagement & more
And all of it begins long before opening night.

Fünf Drehtage. Kaum klassisches B-Roll.
Und trotzdem ein Aftermovie, der nach Premium aussieht. 🎬✨
Beim Jahresauftaktkongress der @apella_ag_maklerpool im @schloss_fleesensee war der Zeitplan so eng, dass wir den Film fast komplett aus dem Live-Material erzählen mussten: echte Momente, echte Dynamik, echter Flow.
Aus 5 Drehtagen sind am Ende 45 Videos entstanden – u. a.:
• Kongressvorträge
• Paneltalks & Silentvorträge
• Interviews
• Abendveranstaltungen (u. a. mit @klaushermannentertainment , @oliver_tissot & @axelschulz )
• Trailer
• Auftritt: @livesocietyband
• Aftermovie

It’s a wrap on another day at the Market. 🙌
From networking breakfasts at the Gropius Bau, screenings and inspiring talks at the Berlinale Series Market at CinemaxX to the excitement of the first-ever EFM Startups Award at the Innovation Hub - the momentum hasn’t stopped during day 5 of the EFM. 🥇

I attended day one at @internationalconfex with one clear goal:
To gain inspiration for creating more innovative and impactful fringe events.
Fringe events are side events that happen alongside a main conference.
- Smaller.
- More focused.
- Often community-led or sponsor-hosted.
When done well — they can far outweight the impact of the main conference from the host perspective, as it tends to be at those small intimate gatherings where real relationship building happens.
At Confex, I explored fringe events from every angle:
→ Attended a session where Bridged Media, @resetconnect and @mash_media discussed how organisers and side-event hosts can collaborate to strengthen overall attendance and impact
→ Had conversations with venues on how unique, venue-specific experiences (like a dinner in Chelsea FC’s dressing room) drive turnout
→ Had discussions with creative agencies on why a strong theme makes fringe events more attractive and cohesive
→ And attended a @wearenowie fringe networking gathering hosted inside the show floor to drive easy access, high engagement, and value to the community attending Confex
My biggest takeaway?
Fringe events shouldn’t feel like “after-show drinks.”
They should feel intentional.
Themed.
Experience-led.
And aligned with the main event ecosystem.
I’ll be breaking down the full learnings in next week’s Hooked newsletter.
