Presented by Watermelon Pictures.

Two of independent film's most enduring forces come together for a candid conversation about the deeper “why” behind their work. Moving beyond programming strategy and operational how-tos, Tabitha Jackson and Gina Duncan explore what it means to transcend the role of presenters, and to view our work as connectors; what’s at stake when free expression and serendipitous human exchange are under threat; and how the field can build the trust and resilience needed to act collectively and collaboratively. This is a conversation about meaning, purpose, and the irreplaceable value of the physical space of cinema.
