Panel discussion “Communities as a Tool for Change”
Lithuanian short film agency “Lithuanian Shorts”, “Women in Film & TV Lithuania” association in partnership with European Women’s Audiovisual Network – EWA and Meeting Point Vilnius organise a panel talk “Communities as a Tool for Change” which will take place on 31 March, 14:30 (EET), at Hotel “Neringa”.
Professional communities and associations are a big support and help mechanism for people working in film and TV industries. Especially if they have just started or decided to change their career paths. Professional mentorship or residency programs are targeted to support structures that seek to encourage, motivate and involve talents of various fields as well as help them grow. Discussion “Communities as a Tool for Change” will examine how communities, associations and organizations can stimulate the change and help emerging talents and will include some examples on what is being done already.
Participants of the panel discussion:
– Eva Brazdžionytė, the initiator of Women in Film & TV Lithuania (WIFT LT)
– Romas Zabarauskas, LGBTQ+ spokesman and a member of The Queer Agenda (a network of LGBTQ+ artists, activists and community builders from across the Nordic and Baltic regions)
