EDITION 2015
NOVEMBER 11-15
In our fourth edition, we opted for an inclusive film program, a strengthened industry platform, and for the inclusion of television series in our program. That year was noted for the presence of important personalities from international cinema: Jared Leto, Atom Egoyan, Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson. Also for screening greatly anticipated films such as The Witch and for celebrating new partnerships: with the Cannes Festival, THE GOTHAM, and the Tribeca Film Institute.
