Delivery date: How many people are industry here this time?
CG: There will be the same number of accreditation last year, about 2,700 people. It is not necessarily about obtaining more accreditation. We can have 10 % more, but then, we most likely change this atmosphere to be very familiar and close together. The quality of people who attend very high. In the first global show I am not a jacketAndreas Bohman of the Swiss films said: “Wow, I watch most of the Swiss cinema industry here tonight,” said Andreas Bohman of the Swiss films.

We want this to be the mission statement, to be the first platform for the German film industry. But this, of course, means their presence here and made them meet more than international guests.

He spoke to the heads of different companies for the first time about the concept, at the national level, about a new presence [media] laws. Then, come to the opening on Saturday, suddenly, there were many positive messages in terms of: “Yes, we understood the problem. Yes, the situation is not good, but we are working on it now.

Jw: We all rely on regional funds and this image is completely different depending on where it is seen in Germany. For example, when we look at eastern Germany, a lot of cultural financing is seized. Therefore, the presence of this solidarity between festivals and the presence of this lobby, which works at the national level, helps to maintain our financing at least visible, as this means that there is a conversation at the national level.
