Next Real Talks: Sensitizing the Gaze

Next Real Talks brings together creatives for open discussions about the realities of creative life, from vulnerability and uncertainty to growth and success. In an intimate and interactive setting, we create space for honest dialogue, listening, and care. In our first talk, we explore the concept of sensitizing the gaze: how filmmakers shift perspectives and approach sensitive topics in their work, breaking away from the traditional male lens. We will be joined by film director Emma Westenberg, animation director and former Next Talent Juliana Erazo, and filmmaker Roel Vissers.
