The conference\u00a0“How, why and who do we write for anymore?”\u00a0<\/strong>is divided in two parts:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. 11.00 \u2013 13.00 –\u00a0Who needs critics in the www era? How has writing about cinema transformed in this context?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Through individual 15 minutes interventions, followed by Q&A sessions and a debate, we will try to answer the following questions: Who needs critics in the www era? How has writing about cinema transformed in this context? What are the trends in film critique around the world and what are the specificities of each film industry in part when it comes to film reviews? Where is the cinema heading to? How, why and who do we write for anymore?<\/p>\n

2. 13.30 \u2013 15.30 \u2013\u00a0Debate: How do we sell the films? Who do we sell them to?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The second part of the conference will cover certain positions in the cinema industry, covering the role of the press attache: what is their role in the festivals and film distribution; how do you convince journalists to write about your film, how do you manage the press meetings and the situations in which the film is not properly received? What is the role of the film distributor, what is important in the promotional strategy of a film? What is an efficient campaign and what is a failed campaign, with examples and tested methods.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, the conference will cover the role of the film critic in the promotional campaign of a film; welcoming review vs. elaborate review; how to write about a film you hate; how to write about your friend filmmakers; the dynamic of a critic – press attache relationships; looking at a review from the point of view of a target audience.<\/p>\n
