Reality Check 2021 sessions info
This year, Reality Check will host two online sessions: Each session will start with a panel discussion for all industry guests, followed by an invitation-only closed roundtable session.
Reality Check: Telling a Different Story
4 Feb 11:30-13:30 CET
How can the industry better support a storyteller from the inception of an idea through reaching an audience whether they are working in shorts or feature films, a VR/XR work, web series, multimedia installation or anything in between? How can the whole ecosystem – including festivals, markets, funders, distributors and exhibitors -- better prepare for a plurality of voices and support fresh storytelling across all formats, without confining them to preconceived notions and existing structures?
Reality Check: Funding Our Inclusive Future
5 Feb 11:30-13:30 CET
How are Europe’s public and private funders looking to a more inclusive future? As the industry evolves to better reflect a diverse society and a diverse community of storytellers, how can we affect change within a complex infrastructure that will ultimately prove fundamental, lasting and sustainable? How can we tackle the challenges that are still preventing underrepresented voices from being fully included in the conversations?
