At the end of last year we hosted the second of our filmmaker / festival organiser Town Hall events at the Women X Film Festival.

Our aim in hosting this series (which will be ongoing) has been to encourage a fair and open dialogue between filmmakers and festival organisers - which will improve relationships between both groups, and better fest experiences for all.

This year at the London Short Film Festival, we took the opportunity to host a ‘town hall’ style meeting where we invited both filmmakers and festival programmers/directors to come together for a frank discussion about the film festival experience.
