Wednesday 30th November 2016
Programmed especially for teachers and lecturers of film and media, the Film Industry Conference offers an exclusive ‘behind-the-scenes’ audience with the people who bring you the biggest blockbusters and the best specialised cinema from around the world.
Who should attend?
The conference offers a highly relevant CPD opportunity to both new and returning delegates. Whether you are an established teacher, department head, or new to film and media, the format is highly engaging, informative and current. All delegates will receive up-to-date materials from the sessions that can be taken straight back to the classroom.
The day will be broken down into three sessions
Session 1
Production case studies – two presentations looking at the production process of two recent films.
Paul Brett of Prescience and producer of “A Street Cat named Bob” and Rebecca O’ Brien, producer of Ken Loach’s “I Daniel Blake” will be presenting case studies of these two films! For those of you who have attended the conference in the past you’ll remember the in depth information given by these two outstanding producers.
Session 2
The art of Distribution –looking at both a blockbuster and a more specialised film, presenters will show, among other things, how they define the potential audience for a film, develop an advertising campaign as well as develop other promotions around a film.
Session 3
The future of cinema
Is cinema dying? How do audiences currently consume film and what does the future hold? A panel of industry experts will discuss what the future holds for film and the ways in which they see film being consumed in the future.
