FESTforward 2015 Nov 21-24 conference Santa Barbara California. Festival Industry Conference The Future of Festivals moderated by

Robert Richards of Glastonbury Festival and notable speakers. From music festival to food & wine festivals there are cornerstones which

must always be considered including partnerships, great programming and engaging the community. Some stories are so magical and exciting

to hear they are too good to only be heard once. Bruno Chatelin of Filmfestivals.com recounts his experience at Cannes film festival as head

of marketing for Sony while working on the now iconic film Boyz in the Hood. What began as a student film project would take the film world

by storm, steal the hearts of the public, and foremost for the boys from deep streets of LA create change and awareness of the hard reality of urban gangs.

From community engagement, stories with heart and social responsibility festivals of all genres are evolving to the ever-changing eco-social climate for

future filmmakers and their peer audience.
