How did we get here? A history of Film Festivals

This month, Jon & Bart discuss the history of film festivals, and where the industry is today, with Sky Sitney, the co-founder and festival director of DC/DOX (https://dcdoxfest.com/) , and the former festival director of AFI Docs (originally known as Silverdocs), and a professor at Georgetown University, and Mark Rabinowitz, co-founder of indieWIRE (https://www.indiewire.com/) , producer, acquisitions executive, programmer, and a member of the Louisville Film Commission.


We also talk about the big move ahead for Sundance, and honestly answer questions from filmmakers about festivals and filmmaking.
