Audio Recording of ARTIST FILM AND THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT: AEMI in conversation with IndieLisboa International Film Festival Programmer Anastasia Lukovnikova.
As part of this year’s edition of the Dublin International Film Festival, aemi presented ARTIST FILM AND THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT, an in-conversation event between aemi co-director Alice Butler and IndieLisboa International Film Festival Programmer Anastasia Lukovnikova.
Taking place at The Complex on February 23rd 2025, the conversation explored opportunities on the film festival circuit for first person, independent, artist, experimental and analogue filmmakers. The event was designed to de-mystify the role of the film festival programmer and offer a clear understanding of festival structures and how films are selected. Discussion also focussed on the strengths and shortcomings of festival exhibition and other ways to get your work seen through DIY programming, stand alone events and installation.
