Created by the Locarno Festival in 2014, Industry Academy is an intensive training program which aims to train and support young film industry professionals working specifically in the area of independent film circulation: online and traditional distribution, sales, film marketing, exhibition, festival programming, among others. The workshop acts as a shortcut for a new generation of professionals entering the independent film industry, encouraging their development and helping them better understand the challenges of the industry, as well as expand their networks. The objective of Locarno Industry Academy is also to build bridges of collaboration across different markets in Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Southern Africa.
Emerging professionals in the field of circulation can apply, preferably under 40 years of age, with a minimum of 2 years of experience in the areas of sales, marketing, online and traditional distribution, exhibition, programming, curatorship and cultural management, and with an excellent level of English (written and spoken).
