Organised by our colleagues from ANEC -Associazione Nazionale Esercenti Cinema - the event spans over 4 days and gathers professionals from production, distribution, exhibition, press, technical sector, advertising and marketing, technical industries, film institutes, casting agencies and press agents, and cultural associations.

They discussed about the future of cinemas post COVID-19, with a focus on audiences, innovation, film literacy and exportation of works. Laura brought a European perspective, shared information about funding, about the European Commission Media and AV Action Plan, and also on best practices across Europe. The event will lead to a series of workshop organized by ANEC on the future of cinemas.
