The Bydgoszcz Film Festival, called Camerimage, is known for the many great filmakers that gather every year. This event is also visited by other people. These are aspiring artists from all around the world.

These are the students from the schools EFTI from Spain, ENS Louis-Lumière from París, Ciné Fabrique in Lyon and the University for the creative Arts in the United Kingdom.
The students and proffesionals in the industry gathered around in a dinner in the hotel Pod Orlem the 14th of November. In this event, there were a few things that became clear. First that Art is universal. It does’nt matter where anyone comes from or how many years had of experience; stories do matter. Art is universal. People need to communicate all around the world. And specially need many different kinds of stories that the audience can relate to in some way. The way to communicate stories for the commensals that night was through film. And many stories where told that night.

The second fact is that great filmakers that had many years of experience have a lot of knowledge. And consequently the knowledge they get, is so great that they dont want it to be lost. This sharing of ideas is a great inspiration for the students and therefore, future of film.
