Pegah Ahangarani at the Film Festival in Paris.

Learning

Most movie festivals feature panel discussions. Some even have masterclasses that can teach people more about filmmaking. Both of these are very interesting to regular people and, of course, filmmakers. Basically, the film festival also features events that are very useful in helping those who attend to learn about the movie industry. Such information is much more valuable than many believe since most of us have no idea what happens behind the curtains.

When a very good series is created with several learning events, debates can be created about issues that affect humanity or just the filmmakers. This can include things like climate change and social injustice.
