David Taylor-Matthews
Encounters Festival
Key Expertise: Film Festivals
Other Expertise: Programming, Audience Development
I've been involved in film exhibition since 2011 when I started programming at the Cube Cinema, since when I have completed a Masters Degree (with Distinction) in Curating from UWE/Watershed with a focus on cinema and have been employed at Encounters Festival since 2016. My current role is as Festival Producer. I led a month-long portable cinema project to Nepal in 2015, screening films in camps to people displaced by the earthquake. Finally, I am a member of the Live Cinema Talent Network.
As Festival Producer I wear a lot of hats including programming, projection & sound, print transport & DCP creation, volunteer management, venue management, etc. I am hands-on in all areas of the festival except for bid-writing and marketing.
