What to expect
Our Wildscreen Festival 2024 programme will gather emerging and experienced wildlife filmmakers and photographers, producers, scientists, and decision makers for five days of inspiring discussions about the state of the industry and the planet – and a celebration of wildlife storytelling.
This year’s theme, ‘Storytelling in a Changing World’, sews a thread of hope through the festival content across four key pillars: Craft, Industry, Global Voices and Planetary Crises.
From 14 – 18 October, the hybrid programme is packed with top industry headliners, thought-provoking panel sessions, masterclasses and workshops led by experts in their field, film screenings, our Official Selection competition, Wild Pitch, a high-end Kit Show, our iconic Panda Award, networking opportunities and much more!
