Distribution and Audience Futures for Feature Docs

Business Explore the future of documentary distribution with global leaders representing distribution (Madman), festivals (Sundance) and sales (Limonero) as they share case studies and innovative strategies to highlight new pathways for reaching global audiences.

In a challenging landscape for independent feature documentaries, how can filmmakers successfully navigate their pathways to audiences today and into the future?

Bringing together global leaders representing distribution (Madman), festivals (Sundance) and sales (Limonero), we explore their strategies for reaching audiences through festival runs, in cinemas and/or online releases. With an eye to ingenuity and using recent case studies, our panel, moderated by Kate Fitzpatrick (MIFF), will explore creative approaches to connecting with intended audiences and global opportunities to expand the reach (and profits) of your documentary.
