Getting your film into festivals isn&#8217;t always a walk in the park, and with so many festivals to choose from it can be tricky to know where to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this panel discussion we spoke with a range of people who were involved in this year&#8217;s Encounters Film Festival, one of the UK&#8217;s biggest short film festivals to learn more about how you can make the festival circuit work for you. From finding the right festivals, to knowing what programmers do and what they look out for, to knowing how to make the most of being selected for a festival, our panel covered all the big questions you&#8217;ve wondered about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-fallback__wrapper embed-fallback-youtube\"><div class=\"embed-fallback__wrapper embed-fallback-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Labs: Getting your Film into Film Festivals\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zq56CQZGn7k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  <div class=\"embed-fallback\">\n    <div class=\"embed-fallback__content\">\n      <h2 class=\"embed-fallback__title\">Labs: Getting your Film into Film Festivals<\/h2>\n      <p>This video is provided by YouTube who set their own cookies.
