International Screen Institute 2026 Programmes
As the year comes to a close, the International Screen Institute is pleased to share an early look at its training programme for 2026.
The dates for all International Screen Institute programmes taking place in 2026 are now available, allowing professionals across the European audiovisual sector to plan ahead for the coming year. In addition, two new programmes will join the International Screen Institute portfolio in 2026, expanding the offer in response to current developments within the industry.
The official launch of the International Screen Institute Programme 2026 will take place on 26 January 2026. On that day, the new website will go live and applications for all programmes will open.
Until then, we recommend using the “Remind me” option for each programme to be notified as soon as the calls go live.
