Film Hub NI Podcast
Film Hub NI Podcast
Episode 2 - Programming
The art of programming film for real life screenings is one which takes much time to learn but how does this transpose into programming online?
How have distributors responded during the pandemic? What sort of engagement can cinemas expect? What sort of content do audiences want from this type of platform? Is hybrid delivery the future of cinemas and festivals? Join Hugh and Sara as they try to answer all these questions with Rose Baker (Belfast Film Festival & WANDA) and Michael Staley (Queen’s Film Theatre).
The Moving Pictures Podcast series forms part of a wider Moving Pictures Programme of training and mentoring for Film Hub NI Members. Sincere thanks to Northern Ireland Screen for supporting this initiative through the Department for Communities.
Every effort has been made to provide a quality listening experience but please note that these recordings were made during January – March 2021 in our homes over Zoom so the sound quality may, at times, be patchy. Many thanks to our wonderful producer, Stephen Mullan, for all his hard work recording and editing this work under difficult circumstances.
Supported by National Lottery funds, Film Hub NI was established in 2013 by Queen’s Film Theatre, Belfast in their capacity as NI’s BFI Film Hub Lead Organisation (FHLO). FHNI works to support the creativity and energy of the film exhibition sector across NI and ensure a wide range of film is available to audiences right across the country.
The BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) is made up of 8 Film Hubs which cover the whole of the UK. Each Film Hub is led by a Film Hub Lead Organisation (FHLO) that receives funding from the BFI to deliver extensive programming, audience development activity and support sector training in their region.
