FESTIVAL FORUMS:
Bleary-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed: 1500+ Films in 100+ Days
Ever wonder what it takes to program a 10-day festival with over 170 films in the lineup?
Starting in September, a handful of brave souls begin the process of finding the proverbial
“needle in a haystack” or cinematic gems to present to our beloved audience every spring.
These dedicated film fanatics volunteer an extraordinary amount of their personal time over a
four-month period. Through lots of dinners, not nearly enough sleep, and many arguments, the
Florida Film Festival selection committees somehow reach a final consensus on each year’s
program. For the first time, come meet a few of the programmers and hear them discuss those
titles they’ve been willing to “fall on their sword” for. Moderated by FFF Programming
Coordinator Clementine Leger with a whip and a lion-tamer’s chair.
Perseverance: Women in the Industry
Sponsored by Women in Film & Television—Florida
Despite a couple of producer or co-producer credits on films like The Hunger Games: Catching
Fire, American Hustle, and Her; and Frozen being co-directed by Jennifer Lee, 2013 marked a
dismal year for women in behind-the-scenes jobs on the top 250 grossing movies. A recent
survey found that women comprised only 16% of the directors, writers, producers, editors, and
cinematographers—that’s actually lower than it was in 1998. And only 6% of the top films last
year were directed by women, down from 9%. It’s considerably better in the indie film world,
but breaking into the biz is tough for anyone. What are the unique challenges facing women
today as they try to crack the “Celluloid Ceiling?” A stellar panel of female visionaries will share
their personal experiences and what it means to be a successful woman working in movies
today. Panelists include Meira Blaustein, filmmaker/Executive Director of the Woodstock Film
Festival; Kim Kalyka, Director of Exhibitor Relations at IFC Films; Debra McClutchy, VP of Home
Entertainment Production & Creative at Oscilloscope Pictures; and producer Andrea Roa
(Drinking Buddies), a 2014 Independent Spirit “Producer of the Year” award nominee. Anne
Russell, Program Director of Film at Full Sail University, will moderate.
Pushing the “Curfew”: A Case Study from Short to Feature
Sponsored by Full Sail University
In 2012 the Florida Film Festival presented a short film called “Curfew” (which will be screened
again at the start of this forum) by director/writer/actor/musician Shawn Christensen. In this
dark comedy with a tender heart, a suicidal druggie gets a phone call from his estranged sister,
who desperately needs him to look after his nine-year-old niece for a few hours. A huge hit at
the Festival, months later it would go on to win an Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short.
Now the multi-talented filmmaker has expanded the film into a terrific debut feature co-starring
Emmy Rossum and Ron Perlman, Before I Disappear, screening as a Spotlight Film in this year’s
Festival. Shawn and co-producer Damon Russell will talk about their Oscar®-winning journey
from short to feature and take questions from the audience. Moderated by Dave Franko, VP of
Academic Affairs at Full Sail University.
Filmmaker Forum
Sponsored by Walt Disney World Resort
The Florida Film Festival hosts some of the most talented new independent filmmakers every
year and always sets aside one day just to pick their brains. This lively and dynamic exchange of
ideas and know-how inevitably defines a high point in the festival—peppered with tales of
triumph, challenge, and creative methods. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime airing of artistic
laundry by the filmmakers who get the job done. FFF selections committee member and Rollins
College Professor Denise Cummings, Chair of the Department of Critical Media and Cultural
Studies, will moderate.
