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

Backing Catalan cinema


Filling the calendar of events for the end of the year are vital activities for the promotion of the Catalan audiovisual industry beyond our borders. A couple such examples are the coproduction meetings and screenings that we have set up with the French industry. Yet along with them is an endless list of support activities for premieres and promotion at festivals. Moreover, we have kicked off our first funding line, and the sector's response was massive. Now more than ever before, reinforcing, facilitating and guaranteeing the presence of our products internationally is high priority in our plan of action.

 
15 Catalan premieres are presented to French buyers
Catalan Films & TV will be hosting screenings in Paris for French agents and distributors
