This is organized by states with Canada and an International category at the end of the list. The following are all sorts of writers conferences, seminars--even photographic classes ( for you writer-directors in the house). We present this because we know writers love to write. Some events are for screenwriters but others are for novelist or for those who like children's books or Romance writing.
The films section is where you'll find information from the French Film Office and the latest reviews to come in from Cannes. This is also where we watched The Competition and the Market. Our team of industry insiders are veterans of the Film Market at Cannes. Also check in for some exclusive and not so exclusive interviews.
The Radio-Television-Film Department field is a great deal wider than its name suggests. Our dual research foci (humanistic and social-scientific), our creative/artistic focus on film, video, audio, multi-media production and screenwriting, and our - sometimes critical, but always necessary - professional relationship with media industries.
