Brussels is in a heat wave — and so are we. 🔥

The 6th annual FilmEU Summit is underway at .schoolofarts.

Figuratively, literally, what matters is that we're all here for the annual gathering.

Three days of conversations, collaborations, and the people who make this alliance what it is.

Here's a snippet ☺️

Greetings from Brussels! 👋

🇧🇪 The 2026 FilmEU Summit has kicked off here in the Belgian capital!

The week is well underway, with four days of collaborative meetings, discussions, and exciting activities bringing the FilmEU community together.

Under the theme, 'Enact Change – Weaving the A(rts) into STEM', this year's summit is exploring how the arts can enrich STEM education by bringing creativity, critical thinking, storytelling, and imagination into dialogue with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

🎵 Stay tuned for more content from the 2026 FilmEU Summit!

🗣️ We are proud to announce that a new season of the FilmEU Podcast is now live!

🇺🇦 This special edition series has been created in collaboration with Sumy State University (Сумський державний університет) in Sumy, Ukraine.

Located only 30km form the north-eastern border with Russia, the Sumy campus is at constant threat of shelling and is bombed on an almost daily basis.

Through a collection of conversations between students, educators, and researchers across the FilmEU Alliance, this series offers a powerful insight into life, learning, and resilience in a region living under the constant reality of war.

🎙️ Four episodes of the series are currently available now on Spotify!

🎞️ As we wrap up the 2025/26 academic year here in Dublin, Sofia, Lisbon, and Brussels, we’d like to say a huge thank you to all students who participated in the inaugural year of Pathfinder, the first ever Joint International BA in Film!

The momentous level of work required to develop, organise and run such a landmark programme would have been fruitless without the enthusiasm and engagement of the first cohort of students.

🏫 We now look forward to welcoming a new intake of Pathfinders as well as our second-year class to campuses all over Europe in September!

☀️ In the meantime, we hope you have a happy and safe summer.

👋 See you soon!
