Trieste – October 28-31, 2023

The Fantastic Film Forum is the section of the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival dedicated to film professionals.

The 2023 edition will take place in person. All events will be held at Casa del Cinema (Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi 3, Trieste). The programme spans the four central days of the festival and offers a high-profile schedule of meetings, networking events and workshops. A carefully reasoned and consistent programme, designed to provide an insight into the best opportunities and tools to develop, finance and sell your project, and particularly to favour the exchange of experiences and contacts.
Some of the main events: the traditional Science Doc Day, focusing on science documentaries; the one-to-one meetings, scheduled in the two final days; and the brand new section focusing on videogames and artificial intelligence.

All events will take place in English
