Film Europe, which organises the SCANDI film festival across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, for the first time prepared a special online industry discussion. “The panellists will talk about production, co-production, distribution, festival representation and education in the field of Scandinavian cinema. Defining, researching and discussing how it is possible that Scandinavian cinema has such a strong reach, high standard and such a solid film ecosystem,” explains the CEO of the company Ivan Hronec.

The panel will be divided into three parts. In the first part, panellists will talk about the production of Scandinavian films, their politics, effectiveness and case study of the film Margrete - Queen of the North also with the producer of the film Birgitte Skov.

With Margrete – Queen of The the North, Charlotte Sieling will bring one of the greatest stories from the Nordics to the big screen. The story of one of the most powerful women in European history.

The second part will be about the models of Scandinavian, Slovak and Czech cinemas. The panellists will discuss the best practice of Scandinavian cinema in the field of audiovisual education and festival representation.

In the last part panellists will discuss how Scandinavian cinema, despite its quantitative and geographical smallness, has an important place not only in the history but also in the present of world cinema.

Alongside Ivan Hronec and Birgitte Skov, the panellists will be Wendy Mitchell (Nordic correspondent for Screen International and Nordic festival delegate for San Sebastian International Film Festival), Lea Aevars (director of Iceland’s RVK Feminist Film Festival), Petter Mattsson (head of international department, Swedish Film Institute), Pavel Bednařík (director of Association for Film and Audiovisual Education in the Czech Republic), Dominik Hronec (creative director, Film Europe) and Cineuropa journalist Martin Kudláč.
