March 2013 is promising to be yet another nonstop month for Nisimazine, after a quick recovery from the Berlinale blues the previous month.
Our teams keeps traveling around the continent in an endless search for what is new out there, with our usual and recognizable focus on young filmmakers.
Our first stop was at the famous and leading CARTOON MOVIE forum in France, where animation took center stage, reflecting, in many ways, the growth the format has been taking within the industry.
We also had time to stop at FANTASPORTO, an iconic event that for the last 33 years has been shinning some much needed light in the dark world of fantasy and horror cinema, much to the delight of its fans.
Last but not least, as we speak, we have a team roaming and raiding the exciting Diagonale Film Festival in Austria, looking out for all its hidden pearls and treasures.
So sit back and enjoy traveling with us through the film festival world, with lots of new content in the upcoming weeks. Meanwhile you can always take a look at our coverage of the short film program at the Rotterdam Film Festival and some of the new features that premiered at the Berlinale.
