While the EFM offerings are happening again online this year, we know some of you will be in Berlin showing your films, meeting colleagues and enjoying Berlin’s cinemas and audiences. DAE will be available for you to meet online, but don’t forget to reach out via email if you’d like to catch up in person. Request meetings either online or IRL via this email. Marion & Brigid will be around for the duration of the festival.
If you’re accredited for the EFM, you can use the helpful documentary filter in the event schedule to find the documentary offerings. We’ve selected our favorites from the programme, see more info & links below.
Furthermore: save the date for a Members Meet-Up: we will be meeting virtually on April 4, 16:00-17:30 to catch up and discuss association business. We’ll send a zoom link and more information closer to the date. If you’ve got discussion points or questions you’d like share with us in advance, you can email here.
