The Goal of the Hackathon

The hackathon aims to bring together technology and creative professionals to address challenges in the film, multimedia and entertainment sectors. Over 48 hours, participants will work in teams to develop innovative, practical and scalable solutions that support creative processes, improve workflows and create new opportunities for the industry. Participants will turn their ideas into initial prototypes to test their vision. This is an important step before building a real product and establishing a company.

We welcome to join:

We welcome professionals and enthusiasts from the film industry, multimedia, music, gaming and other creative fields, as well as software developers, IT students, designers, sound specialists and entrepreneurs interested in combining creativity with technology.

Participants can register individually or as a team. You don’t need to have a ready-made idea or an existing team — you can find teammates and develop your ideas during the hackathon.

Local and international mentors will provide guidance and share their expertise in filmmaking, technology development and creative entrepreneurship throughout the event.
