GET FESTIVAL FIT: Galway Film Centre Workshop
What kind of films work. What is required.
Get Festival Fit
This day long workshop will examine both the creative and technical aspects of entering your film into film festivals. This workshop will hopefully give filmmakers a better understanding of what kind of films work well within the festival circuit. The first half of the day will examine what is required to enter a festival. The second half of the day will look at what a festival wants from a film and how a jury makes decisions. Examples of work will be looked at throughout the day.
