Berlin Calling.

The cross-industry conversations we've been waiting for.

European Film Market — Berlinale industry market

The future of storytelling isn't happening in silos. And it's about time we did something about it.

Following the momentum of last year's transmedia discussions, Helsinki Film Lab is thrilled to partner with the European Film Market (EFM) to curate the 2027 XIP Accelerator.

We're bringing together some of the most inspiring voices from film, television and games for a programme packed with fresh perspectives, thought-provoking conversations and, most importantly, practical talks and hands-on workshops that turn ideas into action.

From exploring new approaches to IP development and adaptation to understanding how different creative industries can learn from one another, we're here to close the gap between film and games — and open the door to new collaborations.

Less talking about breaking silos. More actually breaking them.

Coming to EFM 2027?

We'd love to meet fellow storytellers, creative innovators and industry professionals who believe the best ideas happen when different worlds come together.

Let's connect in Berlin!
