ScreenDaily Talks: How regional festivals help to boost the industry

The next episode in our ScreenDaily Talks webinar series will take place July 26 at 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST and will explore how regional film festivals boost the independent industry.

We talk to festival directors from Romania, Poland, Portugal and Greece about the role they play for the local and international industries, how they boost local filmmakers and help them make international connections, and how they see their future place in the evolving film festival landscape.
