VENICE PRODUCTION BRIDGE - VPB Newsletter # 5 - Final Cut in Venice workshop/ Seminar On Gender Equality and Inclusivity in the Film Industry/ New Frontiers for Film Business
Press releases 08-09-2020
It's halfime at the Venice Production Bridge (VPB), organised by La Biennale di Venezia, during the 77. Venice International Film Festival. The event is being held on site at the Excelsior Hotel and online. Over the past four days it has hosted numerous international panels and the one-to-one meetings of the Venice Gap-Financing Market and the Book Adaptation Rights Market. As this part of the VPB is wrapping up, further important panels will take place over the coming days and the workshop of Final Cut in Venice will commence tomorrow.
As the first major Industry event to take place since the lockdown, the Venice Production Bridge is giving space to the film community to come together, to take stock and to find ways on how to move forward. It also demonstrates how film markets can be organised, under the current circumstances, respecting all of the sanitary measures, allowing for in-person attendance and actual face-to-face meetings, while also existing virtually for the wider film industry still unable to travel.
One the VPB Live Channel you will be able to follow the upcoming panels and presentations. Those that have taken place over the past few days are now becoming available to watch again.
