#lovefilmlovefestivals
The #LoveFilmLoveFestivals initiative is a collaborative effort by film festivals to support the festival industry in facing the ongoing economic challenges. Despite their key role as the primary platform for the promotion of film art, festivals are struggling to survive due to limited support and rising costs. It is vitally important that festival partners and decision-makers recognize the importance of film festivals and provide them with the necessary support, says the EEF message.
To raise awareness and support, Europa Film Festivals is launching the #LoveFilmLoveFestivals social media campaign, which will kick off during the Festivals Hub at the Marché du Film in Cannes. Furthermore, at the Marché du Film, expert panellists will hold a conference entitled "Refreshed Purpose: The New Value of Film Festivals," where they will address this issue and discuss the changing landscape of film festivals. The initiative has already garnered support from prominent actors and directors. Among the first to pledge their support for this initiative, we find: Atom Egoyan, Vicky Krieps, Radu Jude, Joachim Lafosse, Faith Akin, and Lone Scherfig. Spread the word #LoveFilmLoveFestivals.
