Mission Statement
"Today, thanks to the Internet, the international world of festivals and
films can expand to a larger audience, freed from geographical constraints. . . . .
Online broadcasting provides a film and filmmaker a new opportunity to seek
and find its public. The logic of film broadcasting then becomes freer, more
flexible, lighter. The choice then becomes more individual, the relationship
more intimate, more risky, more passionate... For each individual to
discover, to program, to react, criticize and to share... Based on the
obvious condition of fully protecting intellectual property and broadcasting
rights, a new economy of the cinema can be born from the Internet.
.
Digital Utopia? We certainly do not think so! .
We believe that the world's window on festivals and the access to online
broadcasting constitute an outstanding opportunity that remains to be fully
exploited.
The goal of the FilmFestivals Entertainment Group is to be one of the key players in this new cinema revolution."
