The campaign received some support from the USAID Civil Society Engagement Programme in Georgia, but most of the crowdfunding target of 1,554 EUR 1,341 was collected seven days before the deadline.
The initiators said that not just villages, but even municipal hubs in the region lack functional cinema venues, according to Agenda.ge.
The Film New Europe (FNE) Association is the networking platform for film professionals in the CEE/SEE/Baltics region. The webportal and FNE newswire was chosen as the MAIN TOOL to achieve the network’s objectives of the sharing of know how, visibility of regional cultural diversity and finally the VOICE of the region.
FNE’s objectives include VISIBILITY for the region and AUDIENCES for films by providing a special focus on the region.
