Film Hub South West is looking forward to hosting the first annual Film Festival Forum to bring together regional and local film festivals to share expertise, exchange ideas and develop a more connected and collaborative film festival network across the South West.

 

FilmBath Festival

Speakers will include representatives from Cornwall Film Festival, Encounters, FilmBath and Purbeck Film Festival.

Staff and volunteers from film festivals of all shapes and sizes in the South West are invited to join us at this forum event to network with one another, to find out more about what is happening across the region, where there may be specialist expertise to call upon and what potential there may be for collaboration or collective bargaining with distributors, talent or suppliers.

Please note this Forum is for members of Film Hub South West only. Find out more about membership here.

Spaces are limited to a maximum of three representatives from any one organisation.

Register here.
