Industry Updates
Hey ConneKt Film Community,
We’ve got something very special in the works with the Toronto Ukrainian Film Festival!
Join us on April 18th for an afternoon of powerful storytelling and meaningful conversation at The Royal Cinema (608 College St, Toronto).
We’ll kick things off at 1:00 PM with a curated screening of incredible Ukrainian short films (presented in Ukrainian with English subtitles), followed by a 2:30 PM panel “Connections with ConneKt Film” in English featuring industry professionals sharing real, behind-the-scenes insights.
This conversation will dive into the realities of working in the Canadian film industry - from funding and distribution to festival strategy, career sustainability, and navigating the industry landscape. Whether you’re developing your first project or scaling your career, this is designed to give you practical knowledge and honest perspectives.
Trust us… you’ll want this one in your calendar. Grab your ticket here.
