How to Maximise Your Festival Premiere

Sun 20 Sept, 10:30-11:30, Scandic Triangeln (2nd floor)

 

In previous editions of Nordisk Panorama, we’ve taken a journey through the “how-tos” of short film production and distribution: how to survive as a producer, how to co-produce and how to strategise your festival journey. This year, we’re taking the next step: how to make the most of your film’s launch once you have a confirmed premiere?

 

With hundreds of films competing for attention at festivals, how do you make sure your film stands out? How can you plan your festival launch strategically – not only to increase your short film’s visibility, but also to build your own profile and strengthen your career? What can you do as a producer, what can festivals offer, and who else can help your film – and you – reach a wider audience and open new doors?

Join us for an engaging conversation with experienced producer Siri Hjorton Wagner, publicist Kathleen McInnis, and Anne Gaschütz, Festival Director at FILMFEST DRESDEN / selection committee member at Locarno Film Festival. Together, they’ll share practical insights, perspectives and strategies for giving your film – and your festival journey – the best possible start.
