The global pandemic has had an enormous impact on cultural events and the place of film festivals in the film ecosystem as somewhere to finance projects in development, showcase new films and engage with audiences.
About the session
In this conversation the Independent Cinema Office brings together Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, US Programmer and Selection Committee Member at Venice International Film Festival, Natalie Brenner, Partner and Head of Sales at Metro International Entertainment, and Marija Razgutė, Producer at M-Films, to share their experiences since the pandemic started.
