Speed dating, classes that are cool, schmooze...Trade Forum, baby!
While I don't cover this event during the VIFF (I'm too busy seeing movies!), the annual trade forum runs for four days during the festival and gives the experience filmmaker a chance to connect with top players in the biz. This year, if you want to meet the guy who currently writes for The Simpsons, talk to one of the producers of Desperate Housewives or talk shop with the director of the excellent docu Touching The Void, this is the place to do it. From the press release:
"The VIFF's Film & Television Forum, western Canada's premier event dedicated to the art and business of filmmaking, launches its 21st year with a focus on content. The four-day professional development event takes place September 27- 30, 2006 and features master classes, seminars, workshops, tête-à-tête sessions and industry networking events with inspiring speakers from international award-winning productions."
