Bratislava Industry Days: master classes and discussions

This part of the programme, along with the Works in Progress presentations, is open to the public and aims to address the most relevant and pressing topics shaping the film industry in our region. In previous years, we have explored subjects such as the importance of short films, sustainable (green) filming practices, evolving distribution models in the post-COVID-19 era, and working conditions in the film sector. In the upcoming edition, we plan to further develop these discussions, with a focus on film financing through a dedicated panel with representatives of public funding bodies, and a continuation of the dialogue on working conditions with professionals from across the industry. A key highlight is the masterclass delivered by a notable film professional offering unique insight into their field. Last year’s guest was a Croatian producer of internationally successful short films, who also took part in other segments of the Industry Days programme.

1. Participatory academic online workshop 1: Building a Shared Conceptual and Methodological Framework for Housing Research in the V4

The purpose of this workshop is to establish the conceptual and methodological foundation for the project on Emotional Dynamics of Housing Policy in the Visegrad Region: Security as a Social Value As the very first exchange, it provides a unique opportunity to align definitions, approaches, and research tools across the V4 countries. Its main outcome will be a coherent framework that ensures the comparability of the four national case studies. The event will also feature a training session on public policy, social policy, and emotions, delivered by researchers from Poland and Hungary. This three-hour online workshop will bring together researchers, students, and doctoral candidates from Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia.The event will feature thematic presentations, moderated discussions, and interactive group work. This workshop is the first in a cycle of four, each corresponding to a different stage of the research cycle: building a shared framework, conducting a pre-comparative exchange, critically analyzing comparative findings, and finally transferring knowledge to stakeholders. Each stage delivers distinct outcomes—academic integration (1), academic reflection (2), critical validation (3), and civic and policy engagement (4). https://uw-edu-pl.zoom.us/j/91502813854?pwd=RVsX6XSbqVVEINc8LnQMmOPYf4aIBj.1
