Nostradamus Collective
Since its inception in 2013, the Göteborg Film Festival’s Nostradamus initiative has analysed the swift changes in the audiovisual sector to help professionals and policymakers look ahead. The annual Nostradamus report, lectures, and seminars have influenced strategy and fostered sustainable development. Our work has always relied on the collective wisdom of not just the interviewed experts, but the many professionals who shave shared insight and intelligence with us both formally and informally.
Our new endeavour, the Nostradamus Collective, is the natural next step. We will explore how to create a year-round community to create and share world-class industry analysis and critical insight together. The Collective is set to inspire collaboration and knowledge-sharing among current and future audiovisual leaders.
In 2024, we teamed up with BoostHBG, which is bringing its innovation and community-development expertise to the table. Based in southern Sweden, BoostHBG is dedicated to nurturing creative talent and building professional networks in the audiovisual sector.
The Collective's debut session at the Göteborg Film Festival in 2025 brought together 30 decision-makers for a closed-door discussion. During the 90-minute session producers, sales agents, broadcasters, film funds, festival representatives, and other industry professionals came together to explore key industry challenges. Read the summary of the session insights provided by project partner BoostHBG.
This session marks the beginning of an ongoing dialogue. Throughout the year, the Collective will collaborate with international partners to expand discussions.
