They will be taking part in workshops about innovation in the film industry, international co-production and post-production, sales, financing, and project development.
Unifrance will also team with the Luxembourg Film Fund, Ambassade de France in the Netherlands, and Ambassade de France in Belgium for an IFFR networking session for FR-BL-LX immersive professionals, on February 4, from 3.00pm until 4.30pm.
