Would you like to develop a new programme in your cinema but worry about audience turnout?
Do you run a film festival and want to diversify the types of films you show AND the people coming to them?
Do you want to hold a film screening, but don’t have experience in marketing or delivering events?
Our Practical Programming online learning course will give you the skills to develop an innovative, structured, well-attended film programme.
You will hear from programmers and industry experts across the UK, workshop a potential programming concept and learn how to curate a programme that could one day screen in a venue or as part of a festival.
