British Council Presents: The Future of Festivals
Mon 13 Jan 15:00 ICA Cinema 2
As the number of digital platforms for short film exhibition and exploitation proliferates, the festival sector is also seeing growth in both submissions and audience numbers. Drawing on the expertise of a visiting delegation of European short film programmers, this panel will attempt a little future gazing: How is the landscape evolving for festivals? How do they plan to remain competitive and compelling? Is the nature of the festival-filmmaker relationship changing? How can filmmakers really cut through the noise in a crowded environment? This event will be of use to both filmmakers planning a festival/exhibition strategy and to those interested in developing a career in the festival sector.
