FILMMAKERS: WHY CHOOSE TO MAKE INDEPENDENT FEATURE FILMS FOR THEATERS IN A WORLD DOMINATED BY SERIES?
In a world saturated with images, with the explosion of digital platforms, how can filmmakers continue to make independent films? For some of these artists who have already worked in television series, what lessons can be learned?
In view of the evolutions in how we are watching movies, how can we rethink the relationship to the image and to the screen?
How can we ensure that independent cinema continues to exist in theaters in France and the United States?

Moderator: Alessandro Ago - Director of Programming and Special Projects at the USC School of Cinematic Arts
Panelists:
Alexandru Belc - Writer and Director of METRONOM
Maïmouna Doucouré - Writer and Director of HAWA
