TO COMMUNE Gatherings

The best way to engage with the seminar' films was in communion.

Between June 27 and July 21, groups engaged with one or more Seminar programs in 44 self-organised gatherings around the world. The Flaherty supported the facilitation of this shared, informal experience.

The gatherings were free, or by donation to the host venue. All participants were encouraged to register for the Online Experience for access to the full online program and materials. We offered a discounted rate to all gathering attendees, especially those with low income, and to those who offered an in-kind contribution to their group (for example: snacks or beverages for the group.)

TO COMMUNE’s international gatherings were informal – a means to share the brilliant work of our 2024 programmers and artists accompanied by the Seminar’s longstanding tradition of deep discussion. We were excited for people to gather, watch, debate, make connections, and share.

We hope you were able to participate in our post-Seminar survey, so that we can continue to build on the de-centered, international, and accessible Seminar model for years to come.
