) ; Austria’s Erich Lackner from Lotus Film (Blue Moon); Sweden’s Christer Nilson from Gotafilm (We Can Be Heroes!); Denmark’s Soren Juul Petersen of Zeitgeist APS (There is nothing to it); Portugal’s Francisco Villa-Lobos from Contracosta Producoes (Der Gläserne Blick) and Holland’s Joost de Vries of Lemming Film (Total Loss).
Each of the participants will talk about their personal experience of working under the ACE umbrella and subjects under discussion also include the film industry support systems operating in the various countries represented and under the MEDIA Programme umbrella. This event will also allow the Swiss hosts to gain valuable insight into the European system they are about to join.
