This masterclass explores the role of festivals in a film’s journey, from its first public screening to its eventual commercial release. We’ll discuss how filmmakers can identify the right festivals for their film, and build a strategy to define goals for festival success. We’ll also discuss the differences and overlaps between festivals and markets, and talk through festivals as a launchpad for films that already have distribution in place.
This is the 21st XYZ Masterclass in collaboration with Film Tampere.
