In this episode of FilmFestTalk, I’m excited to be back after a two-year break to catch up with you all. I’ll be sharing updates on my work with the Flying Broom International Women’s Film Festival, including insights into being a print coordinator and film programmer. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories about the festival’s history and the art of curating film lineups. Plus, I’ll offer some film recommendations and discuss my journey in the film industry and academia. Join me for a casual chat about film festivals, film studies, and the film industry. Let’s dive into the world of cinema together!
