Industry

Every year we host several workshops aimed at improving the skills of filmmaking professionals, from directors to screenwriters to actors. We also seminars and discussion panels on film financing and distribution, and other hot-button issues affecting independent filmmakers. The filmmakers panel provides a public platform for local and visiting filmmakers to discuss their craft, from the creative idea to production to the business of financing, marketing and, ultimately, distributing their films. These panels (which also double as press conferences) provide an opportunity for local, regional and international filmmakers to come together to discuss the shared experience of making films within an independent industry context.
