That Broad Word...Well, The Film Festival Doctor has now moved its offices from Wales to London! I've been here now for 2 weeks and am loving the London life. I've now become immune to the sweaty armpits on the tube. I've also been doing the infamous crab dance on the tube when you have to move from one small space to the other! Whilst reading this months Sight and Sound, my alarm bells started to ring when I saw an editorial discussing film festivals. Basicaly the article said that film festivalsare not really the future for an alternative method of film distribution. I agree with the author that it has become harder and harder for film makers (and even clients of mine) to get their film screened at festivals around the world, the main reason being is because every festival receives hundreds of submissions that roll in left right and centre (which means that the slots avaliable to get your work screened are slim). I think the main focus needs to be on the broad term of 'exposure'. Don't just limit yourself to festival exposure. In addition to submitting to festivals try submitting your film to monthly networking events which hold screenings of short films and VOD services etc. Ofcourse the doctor can help you with this, so just drop me an e-mail for more info rebekah@thefilmfestivaldoctor.co.uk :) 16.04.2011 | The Film Festival Doctor's blog Cat. : Author CDATA Contact Details Entertainment Entertainment Film festival London rebekah@thefilmfestivaldoctor.co.uk Wales XML FILM
