Community sessions
Live session with the people shaping the world’s most powerful stories. Participate in conversations about craft, ethics, access, and the real decisions behind meaningful stories.
What is a Community Session?
A Community Session is a 60–90 minute live event where you get direct insight from people working at the highest level of storytelling. You don’t just listen, you are invited to engage.
Sessions includes talks, behind-the-scenes insight into real projects, open Q&A with participants.
You can join online, and for selected sessions we also organize communal viewing at physical locations.
