An International Gathering for Film Festival Professionals
Panelists:
Frederic Boyer - Artistic Director, Tribeca Film Festival
Mark Peranson - Head of Programming, Berlinale
Teresa Cavina - Programming Expert & Consultant, Venice Days
While festival programmers and executives see each other throughout the year at other film events, they rarely have a structured place to sit down together and talk about the ever changing challenges and opportunities of the festival world. The inaugural Think Fest at the 2017 Jerusalem Film Festival established a unique platform for professionals to discuss key issues facing film festivals. On its 3rd edition, the Jerusalem Film Festival has assembled experts from leading film festivals in order to deep dive into a discussion, examine current challenges and suggest ideas to work smartly in the future. The Jerusalem Film Festival is proud to have created and host this forum, offering a much needed space for film festival experts to come together to share experiences and strategies, to come up with more collaborative ways of working or to revisit evolving issues facing film festivals.
