Want the inside scoop on how to leverage these film festivals to launch your film? We’ve got just the right webinar for you: Film Festival Distribution – A Conversation with Sean Farnel.

Sean Farnel was the first Director of Programming for the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, which tripled its audience during his six-year tenure, and created the popular national screening series Doc Soup. He also founded the documentary programme at the Toronto International Film Festival. These days, he provides creative, marketing and distribution services to documentary producers, companies, and institutions!

The hour and a half long webinar covers a myriad of topics, from comparing how film festivals functioned differently before COVID versus now, to understanding what different types of fests can do for your film, effective ways to build marketing and distribution strategies, how to track festivals, case studies and more.

Moderated by Ken Proulx (Director, Events Management at Telefilm Canada) this virtual webinar is available for you to enjoy anytime!
