Screening Days is a chance for cinema professionals to preview key upcoming films to aid their programming, marketing and audience development.
The ICO are returning to BFI Southbank this March for their flagship spring event, where they’ll be screening an array of the best independent films set for release in the months following so you can pack your programmes with new discoveries to delight your audiences. Screening Days is for anyone who works or volunteers in a space that shows films and who helps encourage audiences to watch them, including front-of-house staff and young film programmers.
This Screening Days is a hybrid (in-person and online) event. You can attend in-person at BFI Southbank from Saturday 11 to Monday 13 March and/or watch a selection of films from the programme online from Tuesday 14 to Sunday 19 March.
The first film confirmed in the programme is Boy from Heaven, Tarik Saleh’s superb conspiracy thriller set on an Egyptian university campus. More than twenty further titles over the coming weeks, so sign-up to the ICO’s mailing list to keep up to date.
Visit the ICO’s website for full details, and check out the trailer to get a sense of what it’s like. The deadline to register is Monday 20 February.
