The Film New Europe (FNE) Association is the networking platform for film professionals in the CEE/Baltics region. The webportal and FNE newswire was chosen as the MAIN TOOL to achieve the network’s objectives of the sharing of know how, visibility of regional cultural diversity and finally the VOICE of the region. FNE’s objectives include VISIBILITY for the region and AUDIENCES for films by providing a special focus on the region. The market situation for big and small countries is very different and the region has to be approached with this specificity considering the high density of different cultures, languages and markets here. FNE supports the evolution of the FNE Assoc network and shares INNOVATIVE solutions to common problems.
