Some films have the power to spark conversations, shift perspectives, and even drive real change. How do we ensure these films don’t just reach audiences, but truly engage them—inspiring action and fostering social transformation?
In this roundtable, we’ll explore the fundamentals of designing and running an effective impact campaign for a film. What do we really talk about when we talk about impact? Who takes the lead? What kinds of collaborations and partnerships make a difference? How do we secure funding? And how can traditional distribution and impact strategies complement rather than compete?
