The Bermuda International Film Festival is hosting a series of panel discussions on film.

Chats With.... begin today and will feature special festival guests

"If you are interested in film this a great way to hear different perspectives, both local and international," said festival director Aideen Ratteray Pryse. " Choy Aming will be among the Bermudian filmmakers on Monday, and join us again on Tuesday to hear about the emergence of African film. A how-to session on script writing is set for Wednesday and local talent and visiting filmmakers from Israel and Sweden will be there to fill you in."

Chats With... panel discussions will take place at the Bermuda Society of Arts on the top floor of City Hall between noon and 1 p.m.

The discussions are free and open to the public.
