PODCAST | Diego Aparicio interviews Pituka Ortega, director of the International Film Festival Panama.

Pituka Ortega is Director of the International Film Festival Panama, which takes place in Panama City every year since 2012. In the past five years, the festival has become the strongest in the region. Most of the programme is Latin American, but IFF Panama also programmes a carefully curated international section.

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.
