Film festival programmers dish on what they look for and what not to do when submitting.

The following programmers will participate:

Dilcia Barrera (@dilabar) is a Short Film Programmer for the Sundance Film Festival and oversees the film programs at LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Since 2007, she has worked for numerous film festivals including The Los Angeles Film Festival and Outfest and has previously served as Senior Programmer at AFI FEST, Programmer for The Philadelphia Film Festival, and a screener for the Sundance Institute’s Documentary Film Program. A Los Angeles native, Dilcia has a Spanish/Portuguese Literature degree from UCLA.

Jennifer Wilson was born in a remote farming village in Southern Illinois. She didn’t see a foreign film until she was 19 years old and rented a VHS copy of Pedro Almodovar’s Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down from the local video store. She did her Master’s thesis in Film Studies at Chapman University on the unsolved 1922 murder of Silent Era director William Desmond Taylor. Jennifer joined Film Independent as an Associate Programmer and Program Coordinator in 2007 and currently serves as their Senior Programmer and Programming Department Manager for Los Angeles Film Festival and beyond.

His writings on film have been published in journals such as Screen, Velvet Light Trap, and Senses of Cinema. He has lectured on film around the world and teaches at the University of San Diego.

Liliana Rodriguez grew up on cartoons, naughty Mexican movies known as sexicomedias and horror films. When she was four, her very lenient parents allowed her to watch The Exorcist with them which makes them the best parents ever. She did her undergraduate work in Film and Media Studies at UC Irvine and cut her teeth on 35MM film and digital projection for five years before transitioning into film festival work. Currently, Lili is the Program Manager and After Dark programmer at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and ShortFest.
