FILM FESTIVALS: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IN THE PROGRAMMING ROOM
Have you ever wondered...What’s the deal with film festival progra
mmers? What do they really think about your film? How do they make their decisions? And how can you improve your own film’s odds of being picked?
Why your film gets picked depends on a complex set of reasons, and it comes down to a single fact: film festivals, and programmers, aren’t necessarily what you think! Learn the top mistakes and missteps filmmakers often make when researching, applying and attending film festivals.
Jon Gann, founder of the DC Shorts Film Festival, will be sharing his research from his book, Behind the Screens --Programmers Reveal How Film Festivals Really Work (2012) where he examined and questioned his peers about how programmers and organizers curate, collect, watch and select films for their festivals.
