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.
