David Puttnam Talk: Festivals Matter

"If we get our stories right, if we continue to get our values right, that drip, drip, drip of good movies offers the opportunity to make people feel stronger, more connected, more relevant to the generation that they are part of… Festivals offer a place for us to come together - a chance to reflect upon ourselves in a truly authentic way. They are a vital launch pad for films that support them on their onward journey to reach their audiences.”

A unique opportunity to hear from Oscar®-winning film producer, educator, and CIFF Patron David Puttnam as he delivers an illustrated talk and Q&A with his characteristic mix of energy, anecdote, seriousness of purpose, and infectious humour.
