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

A "10" year


We've kicked off the year with good news from festivals, from our solid participation at Palm Springs to the significant launch of both a feature and a short film at Sundance. Now that we've got off to a good start, we're looking forward to a schedule full of activities, which for now are primarily centred on our two focus regions for 2010: Brazil and Italy. Yet the work of our consortium goes far beyond this, and the scope of the milestones achieved by Catalan productions around the world is still greater. It is for this reason that we work hard each month to offer you a quick glance of the main news and events. And because this is the first newsletter of the year, we also want to take this opportunity to wish you all a "10" year in film, animation, TV, and the rest.
