Fireside Chat: Short Film Festival Etiquette
November 15, 12:15
BFM, SuperNova Cinema
The distribution and festival strategy of short films can be tough to navigate – the market is rather small and unique. If you are producing or planning on producing short films, then it will be worth listening to someone willing to give guidance.

Digital Marketing of Genre
November 18, 14:00
Nordic Hotel Forum, Vega
Our film Something Real at the WIP section is also genre-skewing, so this is personally interesting for me. Genre films travel well internationally, but the market is also very competitive, so it helps to know how to stand out.

Panel Discussion: Can Film Schools Keep Up with the Industry?
November 18, 16:00
Nordic Hotel Forum, Arcturus
Nafta Films has been financially supporting the production of last year’s student thesis films at Baltic Film, Media and Arts School, as we still remember how it was to make films on a shoestring budget. As the industry develops very rapidly, it is challenging to keep up with the trends. It’s fair to ask if there’s a latency to it for the next generation of filmmakers in schools who should be setting the future currents.

Open Lecture by Costume Designer Debra McGuire
November 19, 16:15
Nordic Hotel Forum, Capella
I believe one of the best ways to raise the on-screen production value of films is through great costumes. Looking at Debra’s very impressive filmography and experience, I’m sure she can give useful tips and insight into the world of costumes.

How to Blow Things up in Estonia (and Get a Rebate for It): SISU2 Case Study and Estonian Cash Rebate Scheme Presentation
November 19, 18:30
Kino Sõprus
Estonia is a great place to shoot your next movie, so go and listen to why it’s so, be amazed at how quick and efficient our rebate scheme is, and get in contact!

Project Pitching: European Genre Forum
November 20, 13:00
Nordic Hotel Forum, Capella
I always take time to listen to the pitches at the European Genre Forum, and every year, I hear some great pitches for projects that I’d like to co-produce.

Private Financing in Film: Between Promise and Illusion
November 20, 16:00
Nordic Hotel Forum, Capella
As public funding is being cut across Europe, the importance of private finance is rising. Go and learn what are the realities of dealing with private financing; although there’s great potential, there are also limitations.
