The sessions will be hosted by the Cross Channel Film Lab and are supported by the Creative Skillset Film Skills Fund as part of A Bigger Future 2.

Sessions will include:
Case studies of films that make the most of creative limitations, such as Wim Wenders’ Pina
New narrative models presented by the creative restrictions of low cost VFX and Stereo 3D and a new European approach to the medium
Distributors’ and financiers’ perspectives on current and future audiences and markets
Practical examples of an approach to budgeting and scheduling lower budget VFX and Stereo 3D films
