In this BFI Film Academy Lab we quizzed Doc'n Roll Film Festival’s Colm Forde and Vanessa Lobon-Garcia about the power of music documentaries to attract young audiences and create unique social events.
Colm and Vanessa shared their passion for discovering under-the-radar music documentaries, their experience of finding a niche in the film festival market, and growing the distribution, sales and consulting side to their business.
Doc'n Roll were in conversation with Uche Odoh, YFP presenter, filmmaker and photographer.
