Cinema artists at the celebration of Hafez 2023

Community engagement

Film festivals are a great way to unite a community. A festival can get a wide range of people to enjoy films, engage with the filmmakers, as well as celebrating the stories told with the verve and enthusiasm of the filmmakers. Festivals create a sense of community, where locals mingle with visiting filmmakers and share their experiences, and react to the work they have seen.

At Raindance we have seen many fruitful collaborations start at networking events. Not just at the film fetival, but during the networking events in the year.
