Educational Programme
ISFFT 2026
In its 2026 edition, the Educational Programme was one of the core pillars of the International Student Film Festival in Tirana (ISFFT), creating a shared space between academic education and professional filmmaking practice.
The programme included masterclasses, workshops, and panel discussions led by Albanian, regional, and international film professionals. At its core was the opportunity for students to engage directly with the creative and professional processes of the film industry.
One of the programme’s central activities was a three-day workshop with Italian screenwriter Umberto Contarello, complemented by masterclasses led by Fatos Berisha, Rovena Lule Kuka, Saimir Bajo, and Thomas Logoreci.
The Educational Programme also created a platform for academic exchange and regional dialogue, bringing together students, professors, and film professionals while strengthening connections between film schools across the Western Balkans.
Through this programme, ISFFT 2026 built a bridge between academia and the film industry, placing students and their artistic and professional development at the heart of the festival.
