A top-level conversation with the professionals
For the upcoming generations, Locarno Pro’s Academy is a unique opportunity to discover and learn more about the world of the film industry and its challenges. The keynotes for the 2018 edition are collaboration and creativity.
The 10 selected participants work in the fields of traditional and digital distribution, management, international sales, festivals and marketing. They come from France, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and Russia, and have all followed unusual pathways which testify to their passion for cinema.
The Industry Academy will offer them not only a perfect opportunity to interact with a group of top-level professionals, but also to quiz the experts and enhance their own hands-on professional experience, while gaining insights into the work of their colleagues.
The 2018 speakers and tutors include Mathias Noschis (Alphapanda), Bobby Allen (MUBI), Matthijs Wouter Knol (Berlin EFM), Virginie Devesa (Alpha Violet), Pierre Menahem (Still Moving), René Wolf (Eye Film), Janet Pierson (SXSW) and Franklin Leonard (The Black List), among others.
