The SCHLiNGEL INDUSTRY FORUM was also an integral part of the festival week at the 29th International Film Festival for Children and Young Audiences SCHLiNGEL.

As an industry meeting point for specialist audiences, this series of events has developed into one of the most important platforms for the children's and youth film scene in recent years. It offers accredited specialist audiences and invited filmmakers the ideal platform for dialogue and networking. Different discussion and pitching formats ensure an exchange about current trends and project ideas.

The SCHLiNGEL Industry Forum is supported by the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM) and the Saxon State Chancellery.
