What we’re about
At Cine Circle we aim to connect, educate and provide work and funding opportunities for independent filmmakers. Increasing numbers of people are entering the industry every year, often finding that they have very few work opportunities and difficulties connecting with potential colleagues and employers.
Through our networking events we aim to encourage filmmakers to meet and build professional relationships, with each other, employers and experts in different fields of filmmaking.
We also hold a variety of workshops, speakers and panel discussion and crowdfunding courses to educate independent filmmakers on how to develop, finance, create and distribute their films.
Finally we hold a variety of competitions with a variety of prizes which help filmmaker bring their visions to the screen.
