[Filmfestivalresearch] Film Festival Research @ NECS Paris 2017

Mon Jun 12 09:10:45 CEST 2017

Dear friends,

Even not directly festival-themed, our workshop on CINEMAS OF PARIS (B-12, 29 June, at 11:15 in D27) is also of relevance and I thought to bring it up for your interest.
Paris is, after all, an endless film festival – my own work into this topic evolved logically from the work on festivals.
Our participants include Jean-Michel Frodon, who is involved at the festival circuit world-wide; cultural sociologist Prof. Emmanuel Ethis, rector of the University of Nice and author of several studies on the Cannes film festival and the festival in Avignon;
Emmanuel Papillion, director of Le Louxor, the newly restored cinema in the North of Paris which hosts a number of festvals, as well as Lorenzo Chammah, the dynamic young programmer of La Christine (former Action Christine) at Quartier Latin.

Hope to see you there☺
