Your film deserves an audience
Make a plan for getting seen.
Finishing a film opens up another set of questions. Where should it play? How do people find it? What can you do yourself, and where do you need help? This masterclass explores the choices available to independent filmmakers, from festivals and event screenings to digital releases and direct relationships with viewers.
For emerging and experienced Calgary filmmakers, producers, and anyone working toward their next independent film. Bring the questions you’re wrestling with.
Make a weekend of it.
Film Fridays presents two separate sessions at CIFF. Each has its own ticket listing.
