SESSIONS

Summit BG

The Screen Summit programme will be live soon! In the meantime, take a look at some of the sessions we have confirmed for the day:

Deciphering the Independent Film Tax Credit

The UK Independent Film Tax Credit, officially known as enhanced AVEC for lower-budget films, is in the works. Experts who are helping to create it and those who are cash-flowing it, will provide insights and discuss any potential challenges around its effective implementation.

State of the Nation

Independent UK film producers working on very different projects will discuss tactics for thriving in a difficult market, raising money from the private sector, the importance of bringing fresh voices into the industry and their efforts to ensure film sets are healthy places to work for all.

Hitting the Theatrical Bull's-Eye

Hear from leading distributors about how they marketed, released and achieved box-office success with recent UK independent features. Why are some films connecting with audiences, what’s not working so well, and what is making the difference?

 

Money Talks

Is the feel-good factor back for UK indie film? Leading UK-based producer-financiers with their sights firmly set on supporting commercial local films look at opportunities in the market, the kinds of projects they are looking for, the ways they are investing, and what makes a project and partnership right for them.

Future Production: AI & Virtual Production

How can innovations like AI and virtual production be deployed to the advantage of productions.

International Co-Productions

How the UK can work effectively and successfully with international partners?

 

The Talent Game

Leading producers, talent and sales agents talk about the skill of putting together UK projects with talent who can help to raise the finance. Topics to be discussed will include how a talent agent decides what to put in front of their clients, what makes a UK talent “bankable”, the current state of the international market and breaking down barriers to entry for diverse, fresh talents.

Future Filmmakers

Developing new and diverse voices and offering them a path into the industry.
