FeedForward experts
We believe it is very important to keep our workshops and gatherings future-proof. This is how FilmForward stimulates the growth of AV professionals in the Netherlands and the realisation of high-quality productions.
We have set up the ‘FeedForward Experts’ group to create and produce a variety of programmes. This network of professionals keeps a close eye on developments in the sector. In this manner, we can (continue to) guarantee the relevance of our programmes. The group consists of professionals from various disciplines, which means that FilmForward continues to strive for high-quality and up-to-date programmes that are in line with practice.
FeedForward Experts work by identifying trends and needs for innovation in professional skills based on their own expertise or field. Based on these needs, they devise and organise (interdisciplinary) programmes in collaboration with the FilmForward team.
