WORLD CINEMA FUND ON FEBRUARY 13, 2013: “FILLING THE GAP: THE ART OF FILMMAKING IN CUBA & VIETNAM”

14-2-2013 — /europawire.eu/ — On February 13, the WCF invites all its friends as well as representatives of the industry and press to the panel discussion “Filling the Gap: The Art of Filmmaking in Cuba & Vietnam”. There will once again be the opportunity to learn more about the programme, successes, funding strategies, films, initiatives and partners of the World Cinema Fund (WCF).

The Executive Board of the German Federal Cultural Foundation (KSB) decided, in late 2012, it would continue funding the WCF for another five years. Thus the existence of the WCF has now been secured until 2018.

Two WCF Spotlights (WCF film series and workshops in collaboration with local festivals and the Goethe Institut) were held in Havana/Cuba and Hanoi/Vietnam in 2012. This year’s World Cinema Fund Day will also be devoted to these countries.
