CICLOPE Festival keeps evolving, and from 7-9 October this year, it celebrated its most successful edition to date. 1,500+ attendees from more than 50 countries gathered at Berlin’s UdK, to connect over the latest in craft and creativity.

Representatives from top production companies, agencies, and brands around the world enjoyed a two-stage program, that featured more than 60 speakers.

Among the highlights were award-winning director Steve Rogers (Biscuit Filmworks, Revolver), global CCO of TBWA\Media Arts Lab, Brent Anderson, Netflix’s Kamey Butler, and Blake Harrop from LVMH.

The content included case studies, directors’ talks, and panels discussing topics such as the evolving nature of industry dynamics, experimental formats of storytelling, and the wave of independents making their mark.

On the In-Focus stage, the new initiative FutureFrames stood out — a space for honest, necessary dialogue between the industry’s emerging talent and its most influential leaders. All the talks are now available to watch online with a CICLOPE Library subscription.

See you again at the Home of Craft in 2026.
