Today, we reached an important milestone in the Serial Eyes Programme #13 with the Midterm Pitch—an event that marks both the halfway point and one of the programme’s key highlights.
During the Midterm Pitch, the 12 participants presented the current state of their projects, demonstrating how their original ideas have evolved over the past months. The presentations reflected not only the creative growth of each project, but also the remarkable diversity of voices, perspectives, and storytelling approaches that define Serial Eyes. The international and collaborative spirit of the programme was clearly on display.

A Key Creative Milestone
The Midterm Pitch is more than a presentation. It is a crucial moment for reflection, exchange, and growth. Participants receive valuable feedback, sharpen their creative vision, and gain fresh momentum as they move into the second half of the programme. The passion, ambition, and commitment demonstrated throughout the day highlighted the strength of this exceptional group. We are excited to follow the next stages of their projects and to continue this journey together as the programme progresses.
