What are the latest news and successes of these up and coming European producers? Here are some of them: Karim Aitouna from France presented his documentary A Place under the Sun at the largest documentary film festival IDFA. The documentary Lacrau by the Portuguese producer Joana Gusmão was screened at the 28th Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata in Argentina and at the Austrian Viennale.Cantos, a documentary by the Swiss producer Aline Schmid, was presented at the 37th São Paulo International Film Festival in the section of New Filmmaker Competition.
