VIVA INDEPENDENT FEATURES DOCS

14:10 – 14:50 Tuesday 19.03, Social Cinema, Kunsthal Charlottenborg

How do we successfully finance, produce and distribute independent feature documentaries in the age of streaming? Can we set up films so that they benefit the people who make them, the communities featured and society more broadly.
