Inside the Mind of a Curator

Limited Capacity seats available

All film festivals start with their own unique vision, sometimes conceived through thoughtful considerations and debate...sometimes over drinks at a bar. Either way, it is the curators who bring that vision to life. Along the way they deal with many realities: what films will be ready to screen; will they be available; will people want to see them?
