15.30 - 17.00 Feels Like The First Time: How to get your first feature on the international festival circuit (In association with British Council)

How hard is it for international filmmakers to get a first feature shown at film festivals? When you are selected, how can you make the most of festival experiences? International producers and some of the world's top film festival programmers will share insights and give advice.

Speakers: Katja Adomeit (producer, Wolf and Sheep, The Square); John Cooper (director, Sundance Film Festival); Pietro Greppi (producer, Departure); Giona A. Nazzaro (general delegate of the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week).

14.00 - 15.00 The Power of Film: The role of storytellers as cultural diplomats

As political and social discourse across the western world becomes more polarised and populist in tone, leading international filmmakers come together to discuss the responsibilities of filmmakers and the role narrative films can play in creating empathy and encouraging tolerance. How can we harness the power of film, our dominant cultural force, to inspire and effect change?

Speakers: Rosie Alison (producer, Heyday Films) and Jonathan King (executive vice president narrative film, Participant Media).

Chair: Gaylene Gould (head of cinema and events, BFI Southbank).

SUNDAY 21ST MAY14.30 - 15.30 Star Power: How to develop film projects to attract world-class talent

The boom in high-end TV means the creative talent is moving to where the money is and finds itself in very great demand. A group of leading talent agents will discuss how international producers can build effective relationships with them to better understand their clients' needs and ensure producers are developing feature work that appeals to the very best actors, writers and directors.

Speakers: Nish Panchal (film and TV agent, Curtis Brown) and Rhodri Thomas (president, production, The Ink Factory).

16.00 - 17.00 Beyond 25%: maximising the UK tax credit(In association with the British Film Commission)

Speakers: Matthew Metcalfe (6 Days).

MONDAY 22ND MAY10.00 - 11.00 The Practical Guide to Closing your Film (In association with European Film Bonds)

Speakers: Clare Coulter (business affairs manager, BFI) and Peter la Terriere (managing director, European Film Bonds).

Chair: Isabel Davis (head of international, BFI).

15.00 - 16.00 Hunt for the Younger People: How to capture the 16-30 year-old audience

This is the elusive demographic that helped spur the success of recent indie breakouts including Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Moonlight, The Eagle Huntress and My Scientology Movie. International distribution and marketing experts will discuss the release and marketing strategies behind these and other films, and look at what we can learn from China, a market driven by the youth audience.

Speakers: Wei Han (CEO, Bliss Media), Jamie Schwartz (executive vice president, marketing, Focus Features) and Paul Wiegard (managing director, Madman Entertainment).

CATCH-UP SCREENINGS In case you miss them, we’ll be re-screening panel events in the centre from Tuesday 23rd May onwards.
