The End of the Pier Film festival is pleased to announce a working partnership with the Concorto Film Festival – “film festival del Cortometraggio”, Pontenure Piacenza Italy. The two events will be working together to develop a net work of independent film festivals across Europe.
The aims of the concord are:
- Develop cultural ties with partner film events to forward and develop a better understanding between EU member states.
- To create opportunities for young and independent film makers to gain industry and public exposure for their work throughout EU member states.
- To assist in the strengthening of the European film industry to preserve the future of the industry against other competitive elements from outside the EU.
- To look at ways finance can be raised to help support film festivals and to further the points above.
- To share technical and other information to keep festival organizers informed of new developments within the industry.
- To create and further education opportunities to assist young people to train in basic film production procedure with a view to encourage them to seek employment in the film industry.
- To look at potential markets for theatrical distribution and DVD sales for low-budget independent European films.
- To assist new film makers to explore new avenues of approach to production through using resources in other member states.
A similar agreement is being developed amongst a range of European events including Saint-Maur in Paris. News from this event will be on the site in October.
