Meet the filmmakers behind the films in the festival’s competition programme for Nordic-Baltic student films. Get the opportunity to ask what you want, know more about the films, directly from the filmmakers, and get insight into the ideas, processes, and techniques behind the films.
These sessions will happen during breakfast at the Quality Hotel on Friday and Saturday mornings.
Moderator for the Q&A is Ben Mitchell, the chief editor of Skwigly.co.uk.
