___________________________________________________________

AS EACH YEAR PASSES AND AS AFFORDABLE TECHNOLOGIES IMPROVE, THE MARKET PLACE IS FLOODED WITH MORE AND MORE INDEPENDENT SHORT WORKS. The simple reality is that while significantly more work is being produced now than ever before, the volume of screening opportunities and markets available for short works have not increased in a proportional manner.

For new and emerging filmmakers, navigating the festivals and presentation systems often seem like an impossible pursuit, but yet the truth is that these systems are not stacked against new filmmakers.

This panel discussion and open dialogue with distributors and programmers - including programmers Alex Rogalski (TIFF) and Pablo de Ocampo (Images Festival) - will focus on how programmers assess and evaluate work, and key deciding factors that will impact their decisions.
