The topics to be addressed include the permeability between the small territories and moving towards a joint agenda on funding, reaching audience and innovative distribution. Results will be presented at the European Film Market at the 2016 Berlinale.
Taking a cue from the well-funded countries to the west, the CEE territories have begun focusing on their regional neighbors to start building a network based on public institution partnerships that would lead to their own audiovisual sector to develop, finance and support the distribution of content to their audiences. #FEEDback intends to propose new paths to develop the CEE cinema landscape.
The platform’s three working group agendas are Funding, taking place in June 2015 in Cluj; Audience Development and Marketing, taking place in November in Cottbus; and Distribution and Marketing, taking place in Trieste in January 2016. National funding bodies and decision makers will be invited to participate in the sessions.
