C:FUTURE is CICLOPE’s initiative dedicated to the next generation of the creative industry. Rather than discussing the future of young talent, it puts young talent at the centre of the conversation.

Taking place across all three days of the Festival, each session features a different group of emerging talent from different disciplines. But every conversation follows the same three themes: Expectations. Reality. Hope.

By repeating the framework with different voices, C:FUTURE reveals where a new generation shares common ground, where perspectives diverge, and what the industry can learn from both.

What makes something worthy of attention? As culture evolves faster than ever and choice becomes limitless, across directing, producing and commissioning acts of selection collectively shape the cultural landscape, and determine which ideas are carried forward.

Bringing together voices from film, music, events and advertising, this conversation examines the human judgment behind meaningful curation.
