Some parts are exclusively open to our members. We listen to some well experienced online curators from leading digital platforms. What has been the essence of their curational philosophy and has this changed over the years?
Who are they aiming for with their online content? Can they see eye to eye with the new festival ecosystem or do they feel threatened? How are distributors, sales agents and agencies looking at the changing digital selling market? Is there something to gain from worldwide online premieres? How to adapt to a new media chronology and has this changed forever? With much being made of gender equality within the film business, with both film production and major festivals such as Cannes and Venice all coming under intense scrutiny, this panel will explore gender in equality within the world of short film.
Jacobson will be on hand to share some of her tips with the audience whilst exchanging knowledge and ideas with the festivals and organisations she writes about in her book. This talk will invite representatives from three diverse film festivals who will chat about how they use social media to highlight their festivals and also give their events and organisations a life throughout the year.
Going viral, posting videos, hashtagging and much more will be discussed as you discover how to maximise social media for a minimum budget. Come and hear who has won the Short of the Year — sponsored for the first time by Festival Regard that offers a free trip to their festival in March in Saguenay, Canada.
