Educational festival appearances

Educational is key from our perspective - whether that be understanding what kind of festivals exist, premiere status requirements, to what materials festivals need, to finding your audience. We are here to provide structured and bespoke support.

With our extensive knowledge and experience of the worldwide festival circuit, we are always up-to-date with what festivals from all levels are doing and needing. Where film schools and education bodies can provide basic prep for stepping on to the circuit, this is where we step in to drill deeper and provide advice to get filmmakers (and festivals) prepared for their journey.

As experts in our field we live and breathe film festivals and engage with filmmakers all year round. Through our workshops and lectures we provide at film festivals and education bodies, we can be the port of call for any questions filmmakers have.

We guide everyone through the process of researching festivals, how best to prepare your materials, and how you can approach the circuit with your film in mind. These invaluable insights we have can be tailored to the audience and focus. Are you a documentary specific festival? We can put together case studies of our documentaries to compare and contrast circuit journeys. Putting together a student focused event? We can guide them through the Filmmaker 101s and prepare them for next steps. Hosting an animation residency and want some industry guests? We can bring examples of animations to chart their different journeys and assets.

Previous appearances include: Flickers Rhode Island International Film Festival, Aesthetica, Bolton International Film Festival, Underwire, HollyShorts, Heartland Film Festival, BFI Flare, Encounters Film Festival, Sundance, SXSW, Filem'On - International Film Festival For Young Audiences, and many more.

Get in touch to discuss what you are needing, and we can help provide you with something specific for your delegates.
