5th EUROPA INTERNATIONAL ROUNDTABLE ON FESTIVALS, LUXEMBOURG 2019
Presentation
Thanks to Film Fund Luxembourg and Luxembourg City Film Festival, Europa International, the European organization for sales agents, sets up its “5th Roundtable on Festivals” from the 7th to the 10th March 2019, during the 9th Luxembourg City Film Festival.
The objective is to continue the discussion initiated during the previous editions and to create a closer working relationship between two main actors in the industry, the sales agents and the festivals, key players for a film’s career.
A film needs a stamp to travel, and festivals are of particular importance for the sales agents’ business and international strategies. Festivals help raising a film’s recognition, raising awareness, and providing a stamp of differentiation. The impact of film festivals on independent films is undeniable. Films need festivals to emerge in an increasingly competitive world of content.
The roundtable consists of various work sessions, acting as a platform for exchange to discuss common standards and best practices to optimize the key relationship between sales companies and festivals.
