This workshop would take filmmakers through the work to organize their festival strategies, whilst also talking about what the circuitry is made of, how it works and maneuvering oneself through that do best care for yourself, it can be a very demoralizing space. Essentially, a how-to on the festival circuit as an independent creator that also concerns the mental health of filmmakers spending often two years trying to find an exhibition for one short.

Instructor: Zachary Goldkind Zachary Goldkind is an experimental-narrative filmmaker & programmer, and teacher based in Tkaronto, a part of Turtle Island. This land, under colonial contexts, has come to be known as Toronto, Canada. Zac holds an MFA in Film Production from York University. Their studies orbit subjects of aesthetic theory, image-ideology, and narrative theory; their primary focus regards the implementation of marxist analyses in confronting the heterogeneity of formalism, invoking affect theory, linguistics, and semiotic/semantic considerations throughout. Collaborating and engaging with artists and local filmmakers, Zachary’s intention is to help organize networks engaging in support through a critical reprogramming, which places agency in artists’ hands. Zachary seeks forums wherein artists can gather to express visions of futurity which would place their labour and respect before all else. Through this, their objective is one that enables the ignition of an earnest dialogue between filmmaker and spectator, filmmaker and curator, and filmmaker and filmmaker; this accomplished by means of the work they platform, the workshops/seminars they host, and, of course, their own projects. |
