T-Port – Short Film Conference

distribution platform & Training Programme

VISION
T-Port Germany e.V. is a Berlin-based innovative non-profit association that runs an online platform connecting emerging filmmakers with the global film industry. We host 2,300+ short films from independent filmmakers and students, including award-winners and top festival selections, giving talented voices the visibility they deserve. We bridge the gap between emerging talent and the industry professionals who are looking for their next discovery: festival programmers, TV buyers, sales agents, distributors, producers, talent agencies, and promotion bodies. Beyond matchmaking, our platform curates tailored selections to meet the specific needs of festivals and industry partners.

Through our TalentBridge training program, we go a step further, equipping emerging directors, screenwriters, and producers with the knowledge and connections to actively navigate and break into the professional film world.

MISSION

Our main goal is to bridge the gap between emerging filmmakers and the professional global film industry using cutting-edge technologies to create a viable network and to maximise the audience outreach of films made by students and short filmmakers worldwide.

TALENTBRIDGE

In January 2026, we launched our new training series for emerging filmmakers – in-person or online. Talent can learn how to navigate the film industry as an emerging filmmaker.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Directors, screenwriters, producers, and creative teams – whether you’re a film school graduate, self-taught filmmaker, or director-producer partnership – with 1-3 short films.

Online/Hybrid Workshops

Topic-based online training sessions, each one with 2 guest experts from the industry.

In-Person Workshops

Our intensive workshops are designed to empower filmmakers, particularly first-time festival attendees, with the essential tools and knowledge to navigate festivals and markets effectively:

Understanding film festivals’ structure, key players, and essentials.
Practical tools for building meaningful connections and multicultural communication strategies.
Resilience-building strategies for competition, rejection, and the demands of fast-paced networking.
Growth and development: what options are right for you, and when is the right time?

The workshops take place at festivals, markets and industry events across Europe.
In 2026, our partners included the Short Film Market in Clermont-Ferrand and Talent Connection programme, SFC | Rendez-vous Industry led by Cinéma de Demain at the Cannes Film Festival &Marché du Film, the Baltic Pitching Forum – Vilnius, Lithuania, and the International Short Film Festival of Cyprus.
