Strengthening the ties between the Baltic and international short film communities, the series of SIS events are conceived so as to develop the skills of emerging filmmakers, further the careers of future generations of filmmakers and guide them on the festival circuit. For instance, MATCH ME PITCH intends to connect emerging Baltic producers and filmmakers. 
PÖFF Shorts and SIS also join forces with Industry@Tallinn &; Baltic Event for another edition of Go Long with the aim to nurture a select number of filmmakers whose shorts have screened in competition at PÖFF Shorts. Taking filmmakers who are at the very beginning of their journey into the world of feature films, Go Long will once again offer the participants advice on their ideas via informal networking from a panel of industry professionals. 

Shorts Industry Shortcut is aimed at local, regional and international emerging filmmakers and producers who have graduated from film school and/or who have 1 or 2 films under their belt as well as filmmakers with films in PÖFF Shorts’ Competition and sidebar programmes, both in live action and animation.

The new head of PÖFF Shorts Industry, Tara Karajica, says: “With PÖFF Shorts’ Oscar, BAFTA and EFA-qualifying status and its membership in various international short film networks and organizations, Shorts Industry Shortcut is most definitely the perfect event to broaden the horizons, shape the minds and develop the careers of future generations of filmmakers." She adds:  "My goal is to turn SIS into THE unmissable event on the short film circuit as well as a place of exchange between like-minded people, a place of connection, of learning and of discovery. The SIS events are conceived as the perfect shortcut to the film industry.”
