Our quarterly get together for exhibitors to talk about the latest films with Welsh connections, meet distributors and find out about MIW assets.
Coming up in this session:
There will be an opportunity for exhibitors to ask questions directly to the distributors, talk about what support you might need for marketing/programming these films and time to chat with other exhibitors during the session.

The first edition of the BFI Film Audience Network Conference, BFI FAN CON, will take place at Queen’s Film Theatre, Belfast, from the 11th – 13th September 2024.
This conference is for BFI FAN members across the UK (including Film Hub Wales members!) to meet, celebrate the work we do, share our experiences and professional practice, and consider new approaches to the wider industry issues facing us all.
The exhibition sector has faced extraordinary challenges in recent years and this biannual event will serve as a space to reflect on and celebrate the vital role we play in our communities. The conference will explore practical examples of grassroots approaches to audience development and engagement, informed by member experiences and interests, and – in response to the most pressing systemic and structural issues facing our sector – will also use the event as a forum for discussion and a springboard for collective advocacy and change. .
We look forward to welcoming members to attend a full programme of presentations, case studies, workshops and curated networking opportunities.
Our Preview Days include screenings of upcoming Welsh-made, Welsh-language and Welsh archive film releases designed to support the wider programming and reach of films with Welsh connections.
The events are exclusively for members of Film Hub Wales and members of Film Hubs around the UK and we supply all attendees with film information packs and offer networking at different member venues across the country. Film Hub Wales can also offer funding towards minimum guarantees, marketing and/or a contribution towards event costs where talent is available.
Further events will be scheduled according to the availability of upcoming film titles and details will be listed below.
No upcoming events.
We’re making time to talk about films!
Join us online for our quarterly programming get-togethers where we’ll talk about a selection of the best new British independent and international film releases.
The sessions are hosted by curator Rachel Pronger. There will be film tips for your upcoming programme, time to talk with peers about the films you’re looking forward to and to discover the ones you might otherwise miss. We’ll also discuss how to programme and market them.
These sessions will run quarterly to support you with year-round audience development. Exhibitors of all shapes and sizes are welcome, we’ll explore how to make the sessions useful for everyone.
