🎬 I think it's great that film festivals are increasingly incorporating online screenings and extended virtual events into their annual programs, thereby expanding their reach and attracting more audiences across regions. 🌎 Accessibility is essential for any event organizer to keep in mind, but data also shows that younger audiences are finding their way to film festivals less and less. Online screenings and playlists are definitely one effective way to attract youth. 📲 Check out this fantastic online film festival happening right now.

One of those things is culture. Culture is the essence of who we are as a society, it is the traditions, customs, beliefs, and values that have been passed down through generations. Culture is what gives us a sense of belonging and connects us to our past, our present, and our future. It is what shapes our identity and gives us a sense of purpose. In times of crisis, culture can be a source of comfort, hope, and strength. It can remind us of the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, and inspire us to persevere and overcome any obstacles that come our way. - Furthermore, culture is a bridge that connects us to others, it allows us to understand and appreciate different perspectives, traditions, and ways of life. It fosters empathy and tolerance.

Screen Producers Ireland attended Wednesday's meeting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media. The Committee discussed “Supports for the development of Regional Film and TV Production”.  SPI made four key recommendations to the Committee: - Development of a regional filming strategy, that covers both infrastructure and funding, over a 10-year period to enable the screen industry to be embedded regionally. - Increase the Screen Ireland Nationwide Additional Production fund to €10M. - Recommend that Government Departments, working together, develop a reimagined way to implement the Section 481 regional uplift scheme outside the Dublin/Wicklow area using a new regional aid map. - Support the Section 481 Gaeltacht Uplift proposal but we feel it requires further consideration on its implementation by Departments of Finance and Culture. SPI were represented by Anthony Muldoon, Director of Strategic Policy, and SPI Board Members Maggie Breathnach and James Hickey who advocated strongly for the regional development of the audio-visual sector.   Also in attendance were representatives from Animation Ireland, Ardán, Ardmore Studios & Troy Studios, and Telegael.   The Discussion centred around: - The practical experience of people working within the sector in regions outside of Dublin and Wicklow. - The importance of acquiring a more in-depth understanding of how the sector operates regionally. - Potential solutions that would address the regional imbalances in production activity across the country. There was positive engagement with all Committee members who exhibited a strong commitment to supporting policy interventions that would develop the audiovisual industry regionally.   This meeting was part of a series of meetings which focused on regional production and the actions that are needed to stimulate regional filmmaking. The Committee will develop a report based on the feedback from these meetings which will be delivered to Government before the next budget.   The full meeting can be watched back here: https://lnkd.in/enwECn28

Are immersive shows under-represented when it comes to professional coverage? Interesting article from The Stage Media Company Ltd got us thinking about whether this is true and why that might be... When it comes to what constitutes a "show", the lines have dramatically blurred in recent years, and many go under the radar. Some immersive shows would describe themselves as 'experiences', some 'games', others are 'escape rooms', many more 'theatre' but this all begs the wider question; how do you define theatre? And honestly, we don't have an answer! It can't be ignored that there is an occasional air of snobbishness surrounding immersive shows, and whether publications deem them 'worthy' of traditional reviewing. But witnessing the evolution of live entertainment is exciting! And we've seen first-hand how non-traditional theatre can attract a brand new audience - and what's better than that? The breadth and scope of immersive is wide and as theatre makers, we believe it's our job to welcome as many people as possible to see 'theatre' in all its forms, and we'd encourage more reviewers to take the leap. https://t.co/rXyCBjMgzt

D&AD's Wednesday session kicks off with a fascinating chat between DDB’s president and global CCO Chaka Sobhani, president of this year’s film jury, and Noam Murro, the iconic Biscuit Filmworks director. A frank and honest conversation about feelings in film and how to make work that moves us. Some of the key takeaways from Murro included: ·      It doesn’t matter what you shoot on – do you, as a viewer ever look at any piece of content and wonder what it was shot on?  ·      Craft is important, but it’s about the clarity of the idea ·      Nothing good will result from bad writing – it’s key to protect the writer. Don’t let it get changed a thousand times, but if you protect it you can have something great in the end. ·      Choose a script from its potential – and involve everybody in the process, including the client ·      Don’t sell a piece of music before you shoot – you might end up using a $30 song rather than a million-dollar track. Music can be great for inspiration, but the final piece of music has to work with whatever you shot. ·      Inspiration for stories can come from anyone you meet ·      Stick to what you’re good at – it’s not that complicated. #DandADFestival #Creativity #ChakaSobhani https://lnkd.in/gvxVcU8
