INDUSTRY TALKS TEMPLATE 2025

This section of the festival is dedicated to conversations that challenge, inspire and offer new perspectives, bringing audiences closer to some of the most influential voices in film and television.
‍
This year’s focus turns to marketing and positioning: how films and series build an identity, find their audience and stand out in an increasingly crowded landscape. The programme also introduces Series in Focus, a full day exploring television, drama and streaming.

Since Norwegian producers Dyveke Bjørkly Graver and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar founded Eye Eye Pictures in 2022, the production company has crafted an impressive track record of tonally precise films that have gained international acclaim.

Before launching the company, they were both producers on Joachim Trier´s The Worst Person in the World. Their work since includes Kristoffer Borgli´s Sick of Myself, Caméra d´Or winner Armand and Joachim Trier´s Sentimental Value, which won the Grand Prix in Cannes and the Academy Award for Best International Feature. The 2026 release slate of Eye Eye Pictures includes co-production Fjord by Cristian Mungiu, awarded Palme d´Or in Cannes, and A Prayer for the Dying by Dara Van Dusen. Scheduled for 2027 release is co-production The Entertainment System is Down by Ruben Östlund.

Now Graver and Ottmar are coming to Stockholm Industry Days to share their story on the making of Eye Eye Pictures. A director-driven production company based in the Nordics, making films for the international audience.

We are very excited to welcome Fjord’s Romanian producer Tudor Reu, and co-producer Andrea Berentsen Ottmar of Eye Eye Pictures to an Industry Talk exploring the international co-production behind one of the year’s most talked about films.

Berentsen's last film to undertake an Oscar campaign, Sentimental Value went on to win the Academy Award for best international picture. With Fjord now selected as Romania’s submission for the 2027 Oscars, there could hardly be a better moment to bring these producers together in Stockholm.

Join the talk on November 17 to hear about the creative collaboration between some of Europe’s most renowned producers. A unique opportunity to learn more about successfull co-production, festival strategies and Oscar campaigning.

Scriptwriting is arguably the heart and soul of any creative project, whether its film or series.

We are therefore honored to welcome the minds behind some of the most memorable stories to our Writers Roundtable. The session brings together screenwriters Amy Deasismont (Summer of 1985), Cilla Jackert (Thin Blue Line) and Alex Haridi (S.P.U.N.G).

We want to open up for a discussion on the art and challanges of scriptwriting and hear them share the do's and don'ts they've picked up along the way.
