The Evolution of Film Festivals: A Conversation With San Sebastián Boss José Luis Rebordinos and IPG Mediabrands

Rebordinos was at the Malaga Film Festival this week, where he was invited to speak as part of a lineup organized by Spain’s IPG Mediabrands, a consulting-led, community-driven group of 18,000 media and marketing specialists in over 130 countries which hosted a full day of industry-focused interviews, roundtables and networking activities. The festival’s initiatives span every stage of the filmmaking process, from student film competitions to co-production forums, post-production support and industry networking events.
