`Film Hub North x Leeds International ``Film Festival

We’re at Everyman Cinema for an afternoon of talks followed by a screening of amazing shorts. We’ll be chatting post production, the challenging step from shorts to features and wrapping up with a spicy session discussing some of the most challenging questions for emerging filmmakers.

Tickets cost £5 and include entry to the entire industry day.

Tickets for our shorts showcase must be booked separately. Places are free but limited, signups are essential and can be done here.

Behind the Scenes in Post (Before I Do the Edit)

13:30 – 14:30

What’s the secret to a successful post production? We peek behind the curtain of recent BFI NETWORK production “Before I Do” and see the transformative process that took place from first assembly through to the final cut. We’ll be joined by editor Lisa Rustage and producer John Askew to take us through the process. 

Feature Focus

14:45 – 15:45 

Jack King and Hollie Bryan talk through their journey from making their 2023 short Predators (screening at LIFF this year) to developing and funding The Ceremony - the breakout feature film of Edinburgh Film Festival  2024, and winner of the inaugural Sean Connery Prize for Feature Filmmaking Excellence. 

Hot Takes 

16:00 – 17:00

Getting spicy with some Northern industry movers and shakers, we’ve brought together a chatty panel to discuss some burning issues. We want to talk about it all - the state of the industry, what’s the best way in, side hustles and side doors. You’ll also have a chance to submit your anonymous or non-anonymous questions into our Hot Take jar, which we’ll speed through in this no holds barred chewing the fat session!
