FMX started off as an event for students of Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in 1994. Since then, it has developed into one of the world’s most influential conferences dedicated to media & entertainment creation. Every year, media creators share insights into the latest creative developments of their projects, present cutting-edge tools and pipelines, and discuss new business models at FMX. Their contributions are complemented by the Marketplace, which allows visitors to get a hands-on experience on the latest innovations of industry-leading companies and start-ups. Workshops, Masterclasses and Company Suites dig even deeper into the learnings of international companies. To round things off, top-notch studios scout talent at the Recruiting Hub, and international schools present their programs and projects at the School Campus. Through its international yet intimate atmosphere, FMX offers professionals and students a great platform to mingle, network, and share insights about the art, technology and business sides of media & entertainment. FMX is funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg, the City of Stuttgart, and MFG Baden-Wuerttemberg, taking place in cooperation with ACM Siggraph. FMX is organized by Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg, hosting the Animation Production Days (APD), a joint venture with the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS).
