How should film festivals move forward after the pandemic? We have summoned some of Europe's leading short film programmers to a digital top meeting. What will be the consequences of covid-19 for festivals and cinemagoing, and what can be learnt from a year of forced digital programming in order to reach out to a larger audience? The panel will also discuss the increasing focus on diversity and representation in cinema in recent years and its impact on festivals' artistic profile and role in society. The discussion is moderated by programmer and critic Neil Young.

Our panel: Emilia Mazik, Short Waves (Poland), Sanne Jehoul, Glasgow Shorts (UK), Miguel Dias, Curtas Vila do Conde (Portugal)
