Are there special features for filmmakers?
Yes. The Festival provides an ideal venue for filmmakers: question-and-answer sessions are scheduled around screenings, as well as a number of special events (roundtables, performances, etc.), offering forums for in-depth and lively discussion among independent filmmakers, cinema-studies specialists, social scientists, and the general public. Collaborations with film, cultural, and academic organizations additionally promote films across broad audiences and generate community participation. Parties and gatherings throughout the Festival offer informal meeting places for filmmakers and people in the film industry.
