About This Video

Drawing on Giloo's experience in Taiwan, where a diverse and inclusive civil society embraces issue-driven film, this session looks beyond festivals and streamers to today's fast-moving distribution landscape. We explore how independent films and documentaries find audiences, unlock value and knowledge, and drive impact through new models, new technologies, and a growing impact network.
