SFF announces Industry Conference Day program
On June 10, the SFF Industry Conference Day will focus on financing and distribution, platform diversification.
These are the four sessions:
1. Film Financingand Distribution 2.0, Thomas Mai – Festival Darlings
Traditional film financing and distribution is under pressure and the connected filmmaker is becoming stronger and more independent. By using the internet it is now possible to connect with the audience, before, during and after a film is made. By connecting with the audience, crowd-funding, merchandise and distribution becomes easier as well as cutting out the expensive middleman. D
Sounds interesting, well done, though who in the film industry will have the time at this late notice may be interesting to see.
Industry members who do have a day available on Queen’s Birthday should have a look at the Monday 14th 10.30am session Australia’s Lost Films Search and Rescue. Graham Shirley will present some little-seen gems, including the fifty-year lost Trailer for ‘Captain Thunderbolt’ (1955) and announce the Archive’s new scheme — a welcome sign of foresight and organisation in NFSA.
Look for the orange button on NFSA’s home page, keep linking to the snip of trailer and a gallery of long unseen stills — great work, NFSA!
Directors who value ADG’s award in the name of Cecil Holmes should attend and be vocal at that session. Ditto cinematographers who value ACS’s award in the name of Ross Wood.
It isn’t a hold-up – be there on Monday 14th (free, too).
I wondered how you get to this SFF event. No information on booking or tickets on the website. Maybe it’s “by invitation only”. Like the sound of the NFSA event. Thanks David.
