Podcasts have become a key channel for communication offering endless possibilities for programmes unlikely to fit into conventional radio schedules, as well as quirky works of fiction and documentaries. Anyone from large corporations and institutions to humble citizens from the comfort of their own home can make a podcast, either on their own or as a community project: large corporations, institutions or anyone from the comfort of their own home.
They have also made their way to film festivals. In this panel discussion, we will hear from some of the players behind festival podcasts, communicators who found their voice in podcasts. With ears wide open, we will discuss how to talk about cinema in the age of social mediae will open our ears wide and discuss the paths of cinematic communication in the age of the immediacy of social networks.
This discussion will later be broadcast as an episode of the festival podcast, Radio l’Alternativa.
