Industry Series

2012 Industry Series
Sponsored by Ontario Media Development Corporation

As avenues for traditional funding decline for Canadian documentarians and other filmmakers, Planet in Focus explores fresh opportunities among NGOs (non-government organizations), digital filmmaking as well the venerable Green Pitch. The Industry Series boasts networking activities, hands-on workshops and educational panels to enlighten emerging and veteran filmmakers alike so they continue to create in all genres, including environmental cinema. Darwin’s lesson: adapt to the new.
