*THEME
*
*Transforming Film Festivals: Sustainability of Film Festivals
*
Film festivals are examined theoretically under many different headings (http://www.filmfestivalresearch.org/ <http://www.filmfestivalresearch.org/>). Film festivals have been affected by the changes in daily life practices: the pandemic, the global climate crisis are the first ones that come to mind… These interactions also determine our lifestyle and ways of doing business. If we do not change our lifestyle with sustainable habits and do not adopt sustainable ways of doing business, it does not seem possible to prevent the global climate crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic is acting as a catalyst for us to rethink this issue. The sustainability of the global festival cycle has become debatable during the pandemic process. How do the two main components of film festivals (films and festival) (Valck, 2020) interact on the sustainability topic? In the global film industry, green practices for sustainability in film production are becoming commonplace. Within the global film festival cycle, some festivals are also developing serious policies on sustainability. In this context, how can film festivals make use of sustainability? What does a film festival need to ensure sustainability? (Fischer, 2013) In the symposium, we will try to establish the relationship between film festivals and sustainability, which is generally defined as meeting the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In a sense, we will talk about the future of film festivals. Today, it has become a necessity to develop social, economic and environmental policies for the sustainability of film festivals. Therefore, it has been observed that it is easier for film festivals that have developed their sustainability policies within the global festival cycle to create their ecosystem. This symposium aims to bring together discussions on the economic, social and environmental sustainability of film festivals. In this context, we want to contribute to the usability and importance of sustainability as a concept in film festival studies. By approaching sustainability in an inclusive and critical way, we can develop useful concepts and approaches for film festival studies. The symposium focuses on the theme of sustainability from a conjugation perspective, on the axis of transversality, within the scope of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Economic sustainability:

Sustainable film festivals and working practices; sustainable paradigms in film festival management; sustainable financing and sponsorships; sharing economy and film festivals; accumulation strategies of film festivals; organization and corporate identity of film festivals; film festivals, cultural economy and sustainability; film festivals as cultural economies driving sustainable development; sustainability of funding/pitching/forums; local contribution of film festivals within the scope of cultural and creative economy,

Social sustainability:

Ecosystem of film festivals; the role of film festivals in social development; film festivals as a social system; spectators/cinephiles within the scope of social sustainability; developing the culture of watching films in cinema for children and young people; development of social interaction models; joint film festivals; access of disadvantaged groups to film festivals; film festivals and anti-discrimination policies; promoting gender equality, diversity and inclusion at film festivals,

Environmental sustainability: greening film festivals

Green policies of film festivals; improving the carbon footprint of film festivals; film festivals and the use of innovative energy solutions; cooperation with partners that reduce carbon emissions; waste management, recycling, energy and water conservation at film festivals; cooperation with partners and associations with sustainable policies; the role and function of film festivals in the development of “green cinema” in the cinema industry; eco-friendly film festivals,

The International Film Festival Symposium focuses on the main theme of Transforming Film Festivals: Sustainability of Film Festivals, and is also open to papers containing both empirical and theoretical approaches and making an interdisciplinary reading on the following topics:

Film festival history and literature,

Method in film festival studies,

Jury and awards

Programming, film curating,

Relation of film festivals with the national cinema and film canons,

Collaboration of film festivals and the film industry,

Film festival audience/cinephilia,

Approaches to short films in film festivals (fiction, documentary, animation, experimental),

Project development workshops in film festivals, forums, pitching,

Global film festival cycle and film market

Thematic film festivals,

The concept of festival film,

Transnational film festivals

Online film festivals,

COVID-19 pandemic and film festivals

The symposium aims to contribute to the film festival studies as an open platform to academics, film festival staff, film critics and film industry professionals.

The languages of the symposium are Turkish and English. The symposium will be held face-to-face during the film festival. However, depending on the process of the pandemic, it can also be done online. Information on this subject will be shared in the future. Accepted abstracts will be included in the e-book of “Abstracts” and selected full texts will be included in the e-book of “’Film Festivals II” which will be published by De Ki Publications.
