Marrakech, 8th- 9th December 2014
With the view to setting up an exchange and support network for the Mediterranean audiovisual and film festivals, COPEAM organised, on the 8 and 9 December, a professional meeting around the theme ”Developing and sustaining your film festival”, in collaboration with ESAV Marrakech and with the support of the Euromed Audiovisual III EU programme.
Through working, debating and networking sessions, this training-meeting brought together 12 managers and organisers of Mediterranean festivals, offering a space of presentation and exchange of good practices on the problems encountered by this kind of events.



In the presence of COPEAM Secretary General, Pier Luigi Malesani, ESAV Marrakech Director and COPEAM Film-Festival-Culture Commission President, Vincent Melilli, experts from both the Mediterranean sides approached several subjects, such as programming, the relations between television and film festivals, the professional interdependences and the digital and communication strategies.
