Power to the Pixel is a one-day forum that will connect the film community with key innovators of the digital revolution who are pioneering new ways of distributing, marketing and financing independent films.

Leading filmmakers, entrepreneurs, networks and companies creating cutting edge distribution strategies will share their expertise on the latest digital tools and practices that are transforming the film business, as well as describing new ways of working in the digital environment.

The event will focus on open-minded discussion, free-thinking, flexibility and innovation. Rather than just showcasing their companies, participants will speak candidly about the challenges they face, the opportunities available and the discoveries they have made with their projects.

Key Programme Topics

In a programme of seminars, debates and case studies, delegates will gain:

» An overview of cutting edge digital distribution business models and services.
» An in-depth analysis of how direct-to-consumer technologies are empowering independents to build new audiences, maximise revenues and reach core, global audiences.
» Perspective on how new online developments are inspiring customised distribution strategies for individual films.
» An assessment of how 'no borders' distribution is erasing national boundaries and transforming the roles of traditional distributors and sales agents.
» An insight into pivotal issues surrounding Digital Rights Management, copyright and licensing issues in the digital era.
» The place of exhibition in the new value chain of distribution.

There will be a drinks reception at the end of the day where delegates and speakers can meet.
