Workshop at WU about the social impact of film festivals

25/03/2025

Representatives from the film festival industry engaged in a lively discussion during a workshop at WU about the social impact of film festivals.

The workshop was moderated and organized by Christian Grünhaus and Stefan Schöggl from the Center for Nonprofit Organizations and Social Impact, along with Verena Teissl from FH Kufstein Tirol and Tanja Krainhöfer from Film Festival Studies Munich.


Initial stakeholders and effects were identified, ranging from self-reflection among the audience, networking within the film industry, attracting new visitor groups to cinemas, to enhancing the attractiveness of locations at the regional level. Furthermore, initial considerations were made regarding the measurement of these effects and the development of an impact-oriented strategic approach.
