During this particular period of lockdown, Main Film continues to supports you in the creation of your projects with many online activities, to follow from the comfort of your home! Because not everyone is in break during this time and creativity doesn’t wait !
You will find here some webinars on experimental cinema to compensate for the absence of the experimental session due to the closure of our local. As well as several online courses on creation, mentoring, in order to continue to support you – and the independent cinema.
