Industry Session
Co-presented with AIDC

“An estimate of more than 3500 film festivals exist today. Such a structured and mature field constitutes an interesting domain for studying how new entrants (or late adopters) legitimate their existence and justify the need for yet another film festival”. (Pedersen & Mazza)

Film festivals operate as leading events in the development and promotion of film culture, helping establish the reputation of film professionals and a meeting place for the film industry, mediating between art and business. Antenna, together with the Australian International Documentary Conference will bring key players to a session to discuss the role and future of Antenna International Documentary Film Festival in order to create Antenna’s manifesto, which will in turn ensure a bright future.
