Screen International launches ‘Talks’ live Q&A series with moving film festivals online panel

As the international industry continues to come together to navigate this unprecedented global crisis, Screen remains committed to providing the best coverage we can and exploring new ways of bringing the industry together for valuable discussion and insights.

With that in mind, and working alongside our new Market+ online platform, Screen is launching a new series of webinar panel discussions and interviews via Zoom called Talks.

The first of these Talks is scheduled for this Thursday April 9 at 16:00 BST, and will explore the journey that film festivals have been taking in response to the Covid-19 pandemic as they adapt themselves from physical to virtual events.

Tricia Tuttle, director of BFI Festivals including LGBTIQ+ festival Flare, Tine Fischer, founder and director of CPH:DOX, and Jaie Laplante, executive director and director of programming at Miami Film Festival, will join Screen editor Matt Mueller for a free live discussion exploring the challenges and opportunities encountered as each navigated the transition of their latest editions into virtual events.
