Join the Chicago Alliance of Film Festivals and the IFA Chicago for a virtual session with Barbara Twist from the Film Festival Alliance exploring FFA's tools and initiatives that support both filmmakers and festivals.

Barbara will introduce the Film Festival Directory, a resource connecting mission-driven film festivals with the filmmaking community, and share best practices for festival engagement, including submissions navigation, communication, and relationship-building.

We'll also highlight FFA's new partnership with FilmFreeway, designed to improve transparency across the submission ecosystem.

This session is tailored for filmmakers and film festivals alike, with time for Q&A with Barbara as well as Chicago attorney Elaine Wyder. 

This Workshop co-presented by Chicago Alliance of Film Festivals and IFA Chicago.
