Marina is implementing a research on film festivals Since the beginning of October, Marina Tebieva, a Russian trainee from the Movie Theatre “Terek” in Vladikavkaz, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, is working at the Secretariat in the framework of a three months traineeship called MTP - Managers’ Training Programme, financed by the European Union. Marina is especially focused on a research on existing film festivals associations worldwide, the way they are functioning and networking with each other and the question in how far it could be interesting for EFA to strengthen the relationships with networks in the field of film and new media. A final report with the most relevant conclusions will be published on our website at the end of Marina’s traineeship.
