THE FESTIVAL WAS THE FIRST TO GIVE AN INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR BEST DIRECTOR TO PEDRO ALMODÓVAR FOR HIS FILM LA LEY DEL DESEO. IN 2008 THE FESTIVAL HAD AS A SPECIAL GUEST THE BRITISH DIRECTOR PETER GREENAWAY WHO PRESENTED HIS FILM NIGHTWATCHING.
HOW TO MAKE AN EVENT STEP-BY-STEP 1. OBJECTIVES OF THE CULTURAL EVENT YOU WANT TO ORGANIZE THE FIRST THING IS TO OUTLINE THE OBJECTIVES WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH THE CULTURAL EVENT, AND THEN THINK ABOUT THE BEST STRATEGIES TO FOLLOW. IT CAN BE THE COMMEMORATION OF AN IMPORTANT DATE OR THE DIFFUSION OF AN ARTISTIC PROJECT. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ALMOST INFINITE, SO HAVING CLEAR IDEAS FROM THE BEGINNING IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVITIES.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EVENT THE EVENT SHOULD BE DESIGNED DEPENDING ON THE TARGET AUDIENCE WE WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO. FOR EXAMPLE, BY CHOOSING A RENOWNED SPEAKER IN HIS FIELD, INCLUDING PARALLEL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, OR BY PROVIDING A FRAMEWORK FOR INTERACTION AMONG ALL PARTICIPANTS. AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGIES, SINCE BESIDES BEING POWERFUL TOOLS TO GIVE VISIBILITY TO OUR EVENT, THEY ALLOW US TO ORGANIZE AND COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH THE ATTENDEES.
3. SCOPE OF THE EVENT A CULTURAL EVENT CAN BE AS SIMPLE AND BRIEF AS A ONE-HOUR POETRY READING FOR A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE. OR AS COMPLEX AS A PHILOSOPHY CONVENTION LASTING SEVERAL DAYS AND ATTENDED BY PRESTIGIOUS SPEAKERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN THE LATTER CASE, YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ASPECTS SUCH AS THE CAPACITY OF THE HOTELS OR THE PROXIMITY TO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS.
4. CHOOSE DATE AND TIME DEPENDING ON THE AUDIENCE YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED AS THE MAIN TARGET OF YOUR EVENT, YOU MUST CHOOSE THE DAY AND TIME THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR IT, AS WELL AS A MORE OR LESS FORMAL THEME.
5. PREPARE A BUDGET FOR THE EVENT BE CLEAR AT ALL TIMES ABOUT THE MONEY YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP THE ACTIVITIES, CREATE A BUDGET AND STICK TO IT COMPLETELY. IF POSSIBLE, SEEK EXTERNAL FUNDING FOR THE CULTURAL EVENT, SOMETHING THAT CAN BE PROVIDED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPONSORS.
6. CREATE A WORK TEAM WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, SO ONE OF THE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN ORGANIZING CULTURAL EVENTS IS TO FORM THE VARIOUS WORKING GROUPS. THEY MUST BE COMPOSED OF TRAINED, IMAGINATIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE.
7. PROMOTION OF THE EVENT PROMOTION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, AND YOU SHOULD ALLOCATE A GOOD PART OF THE AVAILABLE MEANS TO THE PROJECT. IF YOU WANT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION, YOUR CULTURAL EVENT MUST BE DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS, SO PERHAPS YOU COULD CONSIDER HIRING AN ADVERTISING AGENCY THAT CARRIES OUT AN ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN. OR OPT FOR MORE TRADITIONAL MEANS, DEPENDING ON YOUR BUDGET. EXCEPT FOR VERY SPECIFIC TARGETS, HAVING A PRESENCE IN THE PR AND DIGITAL MEDIA TO PROMOTE OUR EVENT IS ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA.
