A hallmark of Glimmerglass Film Days is the opportunity to hear directly from filmmakers and experts. Lively question and answer sessions— as well as informal interactions at parties and events—enrich the Film Days experience.
“We had a wonderful time, saw 13 films (a great program); had a great screening of our film with an excellent Q&A; and met and talked to a lot of different people, on a wide array of subjects. You’ve put together a top-notch festival. ”
