For those who would like to attend FEST in Portugal this 20–28 June 2026, please see below how you can get 40% off your accreditation.
Why is FEST?
Film & Production: This is your chance to pitch projects to international producers and attend masterclasses with world-renowned directors and cinematographers.
Acting: There are dedicated workshops focusing on "Acting for the Camera", casting sessions, and endless opportunities to network with directors who are actively scouting for their next features.
Music, Sound & Audio Engineering: Sound is half the story. Past speakers include Oscar-winning sound designers and legendary composers. You’ll learn about the technicalities of film scoring, foley and spatial audio in cinema.
Networking is the true magic of attending the festival. It is both entry level friendly and high-calibre. Share a coffee with a potential collaborator, on the seaside and immersed in the love for film.
Flight Information: The closest airport is Porto (OPO). I strongly recommend booking your flights from Berlin as soon as possible to keep costs down.
Note: Direct flights from Berlin to Porto are available on Tuesdays (via Ryanair or Eurowings), but direct options on Sundays are very rare. Most Sunday travel will require a stopover in cities like Frankfurt or Zurich.

Networking Dinners: You’ll see an option for networking dinners on the form. These are optional but highly recommended for meeting the guest speakers in an informal setting.
Join the WhatsApp Group: It is best that everyone definitely joins our dedicated FEST 2026 WhatsApp group. We will use this to send live updates, coordinate travel from the airport and support you throughout the journey.
