Our regular monthly update featuring all the news and opportunities that matter for your cinema, festival or film society right now.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant many exhibitors have had to re-evaluate how they deliver their events and engage their audiences. One challenging question has been that of networking: how do you foster a sense of community and connection over a video call? In this blog, freelance programmer, writer and producer Rachel Pronger describes her experiences of attending various industry events online this past year and the ways in which organisations have tried to forge connections between attendees in the virtual space; as well as considering how these new ways of working have democratised access to such events and whether these innovations will continue into the future.
Young Film Programmer’s Groups give young people a stake in venues and aim to increase younger audiences made up of their peers. We spoke with Shelby Cooke, Film Programmer and Editor-in-Chief at Film East, about how she adapted the activities of her group to the online space and the valuable experiences being part of a YFP Group has given her, even during a pandemic.
