In 2026, FEST is expanding its industry programme with the launch of the Actors Hub, a new space dedicated to training, reflection, and the creation of professional opportunities for actors and professionals in the film and audiovisual industries. On the 26th and 27th, the Actors Hub will provide a practical and intimate setting where actors, casting directors, filmmakers, and producers can exchange experiences while addressing the needs of the acting sector.
On the 24th, the Sound & Music Hub will feature Oscar winner John Warhurst, one of the world’s leading figures in music supervision and sound
editing, alongside composer Harry Escott, recipient of BAFTA, BIFA and RTS awards.
This year’s Directors Hub (25th june) includes three panels focusing on different aspects of directing and exploring key elements of the profession. First, The Directors Marathon is a conversation that examines how directors and artists sustain their creativity, motivation, and well-being throughout a career shaped by constant demands and uncertainty. Later in the day, Directing Power will be a debate exploring leadership and working practices on a film set, reflecting on how healthier
environments can foster collaboration and considering how creative ambition can be pursued without compromising the people involved in the process. Finally, The Visibility Trap will address visibility, authorship, and the evolving role of the filmmaker in the digital age.
