Resource: Taking Festival Events Online

In March 2020, following the closure of venues due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cardiff Animation Festival made the difficult to decision to take their festival online.

The team’s flexible and agile approach to this move meant that many screenings and events from the festival were still able to take place, and helped to connect the team with their audience even when we couldn’t be a cinema together.

This practical guide to “Taking Festival Events Online” was created by the team at Cardiff Animation Festival and supported by Ffilm Cymru Wales. It provides an insight into the thought processes behind choices made by the festival when creating their online screenings and interacting with audiences, as well as providing information around the practicalities of using online streaming platforms for many different types of events including workshops, panels and networking events.
