Learn to program and develop your possibilities beyond the borders of Slovakia

The exchange programme between the Secondary Technical School of Civil Engineering in Nitra and the Secondary Technical School in Havlíčkův Brod focuses on developing students’ skills in digital architectural design. The main aim is to train participants in the use of ArchiCAD, a key BIM software commonly applied in contemporary construction practice. During the one-week stay, students will take part in workshops and practical lessons led by specialists from the host school. They will learn how to model building structures, create basic documentation, and prepare simple architectural visualizations. The final outcome of the programme will be a small independent project in ArchiCAD, which students will present at the end of the stay. The programme also includes professional and cultural activities. Students will visit the company Chládek a Tintěra, a.s., which is active in civil and transport construction. This visit will provide insight into real construction processes and the organization of building works. In addition, they will visit the historic town of Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which will enrich the programme with cultural and architectural context. The project supports the connection between theoretical education and practical application, strengthens cooperation between partner schools, and contributes to the development of professional competence and cultural awareness among students. https://www.facebook.com/share/18Zoe8qbpZ/

Bratislava Industry Days: One-to-one meetings

Carefully planned one-to-one meetings are one of the most important parts of Bratislava Industry Days, providing a vital opportunity for both project teams and producers without projects to forge meaningful international partnerships. Held on both afternoons of BID, these 15-minute meetings are pre-scheduled based on mutual preferences submitted in advance. This tailored matchmaking process ensures that every project team and producer has a carefully curated schedule, maximizing the potential for productive conversations. The primary goal is to connect producers and creators with potential international co-producers, distributors, festival representatives, and other key decision-makers. Beyond co-production opportunities, these meetings often open doors to festival premieres, sales support, and strategic development advice. They also provide an invaluable space for feedback and for exploring synergies across different national film industries. Scheduled meetings are not just for presented projects but also for producers without projects, which brings a special opportunity to create co-production networks between V4 countries and beyond. Preliminary Programme: 16/03/2026 14:00–17:00 – One-to-one meetings (Each project and producer can expect approximately 10-15 meetings per day) 17/03/2026 14:00–17:00 – One-to-one meetings (Each project and producer can expect approximately 10-15 meetings per day) http://www.febiofest.sk/

Bratislava Industry Days: Works in progress presentations

Works in Progress is a public showcase of upcoming films, presenting around 18 projects each year at various stages of development or production — including fiction, documentaries, and animated films, both features and shorts. Each project is introduced by its producer and director and moderated by the Director of the National Cinematographic Centre of the Slovak Film Institute, who brings extensive experience and knowledge of the format. It is unique opportunity to present films of all genres from our region as most of the pitching events are dedicated to one type of the films. The session includes a Q&A segment with questions from the moderator and international decision-makers in the audience. A key element of the programme is the BID Jury, composed of three leading industry professionals. In 2025, the jury included: Sigrid Hadenius-Ebner, Festival Producer (Uppsala Short Film Festival), Patrizia Mancini (Sheffield DocFest), Nektarios Sakkas (Thessaloniki IFF). The jury selects the most promising project, which receives a €3,000 cash prize - BEST PITCH. Additional non-statutory awards are presented by our international partners (including project partners such as Midpoint and KFF). Preliminary Programme: 16/03/2026 10:00–12:00 – Works in Progress / Projects in Post-production (9 projects in a late stage of production or post-production) 17/03/2026 10:00–12:00 – Works in Progress / Projects in Development (9 projects in development or early production stage) http://www.febiofest.sk/
