Join representatives from Exeter Phoenix, Two Short Nights Film Festival, Forbidden Worlds Film Festival, Bill Douglas Cinema Museum and BFI Young Programmers to discover the art of cinema curation and how programmes are put together.

This workshop session will be a hands-on chance to learn about the process and approaches of Curation and Exhibition from the perspectives of cinemas, festivals, museums and pop-up events. It will also be an opportunity to feed into the Exeter Phoenix cinema programme and help shape Studio 74 activity with the ultimate goal of leaving with a shortlist of film titles, chosen by you, that under 25s across Devon will vote to see at Exeter Phoenix in April.
