PODCAST | Diego Aparicio interviews festival producer Agnese Krastkalne.
Agnese Krastkalne is festival producer at the Riga International Short Film Festival 2ANNAS, the oldest short film festival in the Baltic States. 2ANNAS ISFF is an independent film and audio visual arts festival including both short film and medium-length competition programmes, and focus programmes.
During the 2019 edition of New Horizons, we talked to some of the participants of the ICO’s course for festival professionals, “Developing Your Film Festival”. “Developing Your Film Festival” is an intensive training program for professionals working in the festival industry. The training is organized by the London Independent Cinema Office. Each year, it is held as a part of a different European film festival. So far participants of more than 170 film festivals around the globe took part in “Developing Your Film Festival”. The instructors were experts of Berlinale, Hot Docs, as well as Rotterdam and Toronto film festivals. Training participants will have the opportunity to learn how to increase their audience, promote the festival internationally, gain sponsors and more.
