For those in the
Cinematheque continues its seminar series for filmmakers on December 4 at 7:30 p.m. with the
panel discussion “Unraveling Independent Film Exhibition,” at the Aero Theatre. In this
frank discussion, you will learn about options that are available to you when
your film doesn’t sell outright to a major distributor — how it all works, what
it costs and what you as the filmmaker needs to know. Educate yourself about
booking, figures for spending and earning on a film, what it costs to
advertise, what is expected by the exhibitor (theater), and what materials you will
you need (including legal agreements) before you are ready to sell or exhibit
your film. Panelists include Bob Aaronson (Red Envelope Entertainment); Gary
Garfinkel (Showtime Networks); Mike McClellan (Landmark Theaters); Ted Sarandos
(Netflix); Barry Schuler (Former Chairman & CEO, AOL); and David Shultz, (Vitagraph
Films). A question and answer session will follow the panel, moderated by the Cinematheque’s
Margot Gerber.
Tickets are $20 for general admission, $15 for students and seniors
and $12 for American Cinematheque club members.
