The all-day event focused on marketing and distributing short films comes to Northern Ireland for the first time on Saturday November 26th.
Short Sighted is designed to help makers of short films build and audience and profile for their work in order to maximise the impact of their project.
Figures from leading festivals such as Cork International Film Festival and London Short Film Festivals are set to speak across five sessions, as are key decision makers and programmers in short film distribution.
Topics covered will include how to get your film seen by local and international audiences, navigating the festival circuit from the perspectives of both filmmakers and programmers, the role of sales agents and getting your project seen by the right people including those behind leading digital platforms.
