Welcome back to Wildscreen Festival 2026! Join us live from the Lansdown Suite for an afternoon exploring new ways to create, fund and distribute stories about our natural world.
Today's sessions (UK time):
14:00–15:00 | Under the Wing of Visualised Podcasts with "Get Birding"
Discover how the award-winning Get Birding podcast has developed into a successful multiplatform brand, exploring visualised podcasts, audience-building and creative opportunities beyond audio.
- Moderator: Lizzie Daly
- Speakers: Katie Derham and Jane Gerber
15:30–16:30 | The Power of Philanthropy
Philanthropic funding is becoming increasingly important for independent, impact-driven wildlife storytelling. This panel explores how it works, who it supports and how filmmakers can access these opportunities.
- Moderator: Lucie Muir
- Speakers: Joanna Hellier, Bertie Gregory and Aric Noboa
17:00–18:00 | Digital Distribution: How, Who and Why?
What happens when digital distribution becomes the starting point rather than the second window? Explore YouTube, digital-first strategies, audience engagement and new commercial models.
- Moderator: Clive Whittingham
- Speakers: Danielle Broza, Jennifer Clark, Alex Marinkovich Josey and Maren Hunsberger
Join the conversation!
Our livestream chat is open throughout the afternoon. Share your thoughts, discuss the sessions and connect with other viewers watching from around the world. Our remote Wildscreen volunteers will be moderating the chat and providing programme updates and signposting.
Please keep discussions respectful and welcoming to all.
Enjoy the Festival!
