Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur

The rising number of submissions for film festivals is still a hot topic. After hearing the viewpoints of the festivals last year, we now want to give the floor to the five most important online submission platforms in Europe. How do they evaluate the situation on the market? Do they understand the festivals’ difficult situation? What is their input? Is there any truth to the rumours that they are working at full speed on a filter application to help each festival in selecting films most appropriate for their strategy? The panel is open to the public and free of charge. Guests on the panel: Laurent Crouzeix (Short filmdepot), Ann-Christine Doerfle (Reelport), Luca Zamai (FilmFestivalLife), Milian Vasquez (UPTOFEST), Víctor M. Muñoz (Festhome). Host: Alessandro Marcionni (Festival del Film Locarno).
