Partner festivals gain access to cutting-edge tools and frameworks for measuring impact, while contributing to a deeper understanding of how the festival ecosystem functions. Our data collection and analysis tools will enhance your ability to demonstrate value to funders, track filmmaker progression, and understand your place within the wider festival network.

Through regular reporting and analysis, you'll gain valuable insights into sector trends and patterns of filmmaker development. Our network visualisation tools will help illustrate your festival's role in supporting emerging talent, while standardised evaluation frameworks will strengthen funding applications and stakeholder reporting.

Partnership involves contributing to our collaborative data collection effort by sharing information about your festival's activities and outcomes. We've developed streamlined processes to minimise additional workload while maximising the value of shared insights. All data sharing follows strict protocols to protect sensitive information while enabling meaningful analysis.

Working together, we'll establish new industry standards for measuring festival impact, ensuring these standards reflect the real value festivals create. Your involvement will directly shape how festival impact is understood and evaluated by policy makers and funding bodies.

We're currently establishing our initial network of partner festivals.
