The Transatlantic Stars Film Programme (Los Angeles, USA)
The Transatlantic Stars Film Programme (Los Angeles, USA)
Selected Academy members from the EU member states experienced a focused, high-level introduction to the U.S. film landscape, with opportunities to present their work, connect with established professionals, gain firsthand insight into how filmmakers create, collaborate, and build their practice with insights gained from the United States.
The directors took part in a two-week programme (25 May – 7 June 2026), starting at the Berkshire International Film Festival, where their work was featured in a showcase dedicated to European filmmaking and they participated in the Filmmakers Summit. They took part in an intimate retreat designed for exchange, reflection, and mentorship with experienced filmmakers from the United States and industry figures.
The cohort then travelled to Los Angeles for a five-day capstone immersion connecting directors with leading figures of the American film industry eager to collaborate with European filmmakers through targeted meetings, mentorship, and a personalised career session designed to support their next steps.
The two-week program culminated in Washington, D.C., where participants joined fellow Transatlantic Stars from the visual arts and music programs for a public summit of more than 200 participants showcasing the work and perspectives developed during their time in the United States.
