FFKB Connect

FFKB Connect is the title of the new event that will be presented and implemented as part of the 12th Kitzbühel Film Festival (19 - 26.8.2024). FFKB Connect is an innovative platform that forms a unique bridge between talented film producers, creatives, broadcaster representatives and funding institutions.

FFKB Connect sets new standards for the networking of current film and TV projects, with a clear focus on up-and-coming Austrian talent in line with the festival's orientation.

The aim of this program is to promote and support authors and thus content creators in the development and strategic planning of their projects by giving them the opportunity to meet Austria's leading developers in the field of film and TV.

FFKB Connect thus becomes an innovative platform that builds a bridge between talented authors and film producers and broadcaster representatives. Funding institutions also present their programs in the area of material development.

This broad participation enables not only the presentation of creative film projects, but also a direct dialog about the type of content that broadcasters/streamers are looking for and/or which are given chances in an international festival run or theatrical exploitation.

This comprehensive interaction makes FKKB Connect a dynamic place for the development of pioneering partnerships and inspiring film projects. The sustainability of the project is also an important aspect and so selected projects with the aim of an international co-production will be invited to the Alpendating, which was launched in Kitzbühel and now travels annually between South Tyrol, Germany, Switzerland and Austria (Kitzbühel) in the spirit of DACH cooperation.
