Screen Talent Europe (STE) is a network of film workshops and media centres across Europe, currently bringing together 18 partners in 11 countries.

Our purpose is twofold:

  • to foster international collaboration between non-formal film workshops
  • to support the development of emerging filmmakers through talent camps, network activities and co-productions

As a network, we are committed to strengthening best practice through the exchange of knowledge, experience and methods. By providing a shared cross-border platform and championing a learning by doing approach, STE works to elevate talent development across the European audiovisual sector.

For film organisations, this means strengthening the workshop model as a framework for non-formal, practice-based talent development.

How do we operate?

The network is headed by the board who are elected for three years, unless decided otherwise. The President, Vice President and General Board Members are appointed through election, within the board the necessary roles are divided. Important tasks and projects are run by Task Forces constituted through the General Assembly which report to the board.

As we expand the network, we are looking at diversity, geographical coverage and unique qualities that will add value to the network.

Why join?

As a Screen Talent Europe partner, you will gain access to knowledge and experience from our various filmmaking workshops across Europe, developing a deeper understanding of how each organisation conducts its informal training style with filmmaking talent. 

We are always looking for new members from other countries, particularly eastern and southern Europe. Check if you are eligible to become a member in ‘How We Operate’.

All organisations in the STE network come together for one in-person meeting and two online meetings per year to share ideas and hear about new ways of doing things. This is an invaluable opportunity to ensure film workshops across Europe are delivering the best possible experience for early-career filmmakers.
