TALKS 2025 – THE VOICES OF DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKERS AT INTERACTION
Meet2Talk is a programme designed for professional networking and the exchange of experiences among Interaction participants, with a focus on open discussions about contemporary topics in creative documentary filmmaking. The programme brings together acclaimed documentary filmmakers from various parts of the world.
Through a series of public discussions (Talks), both participants and the wider audience will have the opportunity to hear different perspectives, innovative approaches, and personal experiences from the world of contemporary documentary filmmaking. Additionally, through twenty-minute “1-on-1” conversations (Speed Meetings), participants will have the chance to exchange ideas with their peers – other participants, experts, and guests – discuss their own projects, or establish potential future collaborations.
The Talks programme will be held at the Cultural Centre Požega Cinema from August 20 to 24, starting at 5 p.m.
