The young sales agents, distributors and new media professionals who will participate in the Thessaloniki-Locarno Industry Academy International will take part in a special workshop during which they will have the opportunity to interact, share experiences and meet with key players of the international film industry, for discussions, case study presentations and group workshops. They will also be able to participate in a range of activities organized by the 58th Thessaloniki International Film Festival and its Agora/Industry, including networking events and seminars with representatives of the global cinema field.
