Film festivals offers the chance to show films and get inspired. But they are also events where you can make new contacts and expand your own network. We’d like to give you some advice on how best to prepare for such a festival.

 

Plan your time efficiently and intelligently: select the right events to make your visit to the festival as interesting as possible.  Get to know who’s who: find the people who can help you, be useful to you, talk to them and develop your own network.  Find out about other international festivals: newcomers will learn how to submit their film to festivals world wide.  And finally let´s talk about what’s important to you at a film festival and how could festivals like FiSH be improved to support your projects and help you move forward!
