Projects by 14 female and 13 male directors make up the 25 pics that constitute the selection’s core, some of which are co-directed.The film’s producers will meet with international co-producers, world sales agents, broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, representatives of public funds and financiers from all over the world in more than 1,000 individual meetings organized in advance, according to an EFM statement.
