Delegate Guidebook
THE NETWORK LSFConnect.com is our private delegate network where you can connect with other screenwriters, producers and delegates attending this year. It’s also where we share all the past video sessions – there are around 300 online now. There are forums, groups and a chat room where we congregate to discuss anything related to the festival and screenwriting. and for about a month after the festival. It’s available year round and you can periodically log in for inspiration or instruction from one of the past session videos. As we edit session videos from this year they will be uploaded into the network (it takes around three months to complete them all). If you missed your invite, drop us an email and Vicky Tolidou will sign you up – vicky@londonswf.com There is a two-minute orientation video in the network when you log in – try and watch it. The network will get VERY busy in the run up to the festival, Where to eat There is a refectory at the venue. We stagger events to try and avoid long queues at lunch. Remember – you are in for the long haul so bring supplies with you! There is also a terrific small café across the road from the University, on the inner circle, called the Garden Café. 14
