Four programmers—Leslee Scallon, Robyn Citizen, Alexandra Mitchell and Brenda Lieberman—from four of the most consistently well-programmed film festivals in North America join Pendance for a lively discussion about what programmers are really looking for in film submissions, and what filmmakers need to know before making 200 submissions for their next film.

Leslee Scallon is the co-founder of Dances with Films Los Angeles—a ruthlessly independent film festival which is devoted to showcasing quality cinema since 1998.

Robyn Citizen, PhD, is the Senior Manager of Festival Programming at the Toronto International Film Festival. Before joining TIFF’s programming team in 2018, she was a lecturer at the University of British Columbia from 2012 to 2017.

Alexandra ‘Alex’ Mitchell graduated from Washington University with a B.A. in Film & Media Studies. Alex has served as Registration Director, Shorts Programmer, and Competitions Director for the Austin Film Festival.

Edmonton-born Brenda Lieberman is the Lead Features Programmer for the Calgary International Film Festival, and the Festival Director & Lead Programmer for the Calgary Underground Film Festival.
