CF&TV Newsletter: news from the Catalan film & TV industry
august
Supporting the Catalan audiovisual industry worldwide
 

Horizon: Italy and Brazil


Since the last MIF, Catalan Films & TV has been working hard on two levels. On one hand, we have been organizing an extensive schedule of activities centred on the focus regions for 2009: France and Mexico. On the other hand, we have begun our preliminary work to bring the Catalan audiovisual industry closer to next year's focus regions, Brazil and Italy. The colleagues we have met at the different events (recently, at Sunny Side of the Doc) have taken an interest in and manifested their invaluable support for the design of the upcoming plan of action. While we continue to develop these projects throughout the summer (!), we invite you to discover all the good news, particularly relating to the film selections for Locarno, Montreal and Sitges.
