Do you want to work with film, but you don’t know where to start?
In relation to the first ever MIX pitching competition Queering the Pitch, we are facilitating
an introductory event to give aspiring filmmakers the chance to get know a bit more about the competition and encourage them to participate. No prior experience in filmmaking is required to attend.
Join us for an inspiring talk about diversity in filmmaking by Moussa Mchangama, followed by an introduction to the practicalities of pitching a film project, led by Rikke Kolding director of the Danish webseries ‘Ondt i Røven’ and Patricia Bbaale Bandak director of among others the documentary ‘Ville Villekulla’.
We will finish with an open brainstorming session where you will be able to ask questions and get feedback on your script, pitch or idea for a project. The open session will be facilitated by Patricia Bbaale Bandak and Rikke Kolding.

With the panel we want to spark a discussion and help queer filmmakers navigate the new era of audiovisual production we are facing, with the ever-increasing significance of web series and web-first content.
This event is a conversation with several industry experts like directors, producers and screenwriters that have succeeded in creating exceptional online series. The guests will share their views and experiences in topics such as how to monetize web series, the particularities of web content vs the big screen and how to transition between those mediums.

How to Get Your Queer Foot in the Door (Panel)
Sunday 25 October · 11:00 — 12:15
Hotel TwentySeven (Løngangstræde 27)
The film industry is remarkable for its barriers to new players. Without knowing the right people, it can be tricky to navigate your way in. That situation is even harder for queer filmmakers, that also have to deal with all the obstacles of a field still largely dominated by straight-cis men.
With this panel, we want to give novice filmmakers their first set of tools to handle this situation.
Our guests will share their own experiences, learnings and advises on topics such as how to overcome the initial barriers and make contacts and what are the obstacles for a queer person to break into the film industry.

Find your crew! Speed dating (Networking)
Sunday 25 October · 12:45 — 14:15
MIX Lounge
"Hello, is it me you are looking for?"
We want to facilitate collaborations between film industry professionals with the goal of launching or realizing exciting new productions.
This is your opportunity to meet fellow film professionals to work on your project or you can find a project that is looking for your skills. Are you scriptwriter, director, cinematographer, or do you work with sound or light? It doesn’t matter, all skills are welcome.
The format of the event will be similar to speed dating where everyone will have a short time to talk to everyone else and make connections.
