Ricardo Costa Reis's Seminars
In late 2014, the AFCI and its industry partners will unveil a wide-ranging schedule tailored to filmmakers representing all budgets and genres. Popular topics at last year’s show included the rise of filmmaking in the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, China and India; candid conversations with the key players—a.k.a. location mavericks—of location filming; navigating documentary filmmaking on foreign soil; exclusive dialogue on independent and big-name movie making with the producers themselves, and much more.
In response to resounding demand, this year’s stimulating sessions will be conducted in the ballroom, making it a cinch to join the action. Look for the full schedule in February 2014.
