The second public session of the Federation of European Film Directors (FERA) General Assembly 2020 Online Series, "Doomsday or Rebirth? A rebellious take on European film’s future,” is set to take place on Tuesday, October 13, from 17:00 CET.
"While we celebrate 40 years of FERA and relish in European cinema glorious past, the ongoing crisis challenges us to bring forth a new vision for our future as filmmakers. How is European cinema going to survive the crisis? Will European films still be able to get financing?
