Big Picture Intensive: Distribution & Exhibition in the New Media Landscape

There's nothing certain except uncertainty. Industry observers and practitioners may think the same thing about the way in which the film distribution and exhibition sectors work and a film’s place in it.

For decades, the film distribution and exhibition sector has been strangely separated from the production sector and has shrouded itself with the mysteries of marketing, consumer algorithms and box office statistics, past success vs next good idea and all manner of decision-making that can often be baffling for filmmakers in process and execution.

Our indefatigable host, Shaun Miller, spends some quality time interrogating representatives from the local film distribution and exhibition environment to uncover the truth and stare down the mysteries that surround this hard to penetrate but central element of the life cycle of a film.

Panellists:
Kristian Connelly (CEO Cinema Nova)
Tait Brady (Label Films)
Hudson Sowada (Umbrella Entertianment)

Chaired by the sparkling Shaun Miller.
