    By CWB News Department on 06/09/2011 News

    2011 Los Angeles Greek Film Festival opens its third day by Special Industry Panel – Crossing Borders, focusing on Foreign Films in Hollywood, followed by five show times all through the afternoon and evening.

    Special Industry Panel – Crossing Borders: Foreign Films in Hollywood
    The age of global interconnectedness is shaping the ways films are made,distributed and exhibited in the US and abroad, while the dividing lines between foreign films, independent productions and Hollywood studio films are beginningto blur. For the first time in the history of American cinema, Hollywood studios have set up international offices to facilitate local productions filmed in the local language. Similarly, foreign films may be facing a newly kindled interest in the US. While still marginal players in the US distribution and exhibition domains, foreign films have a growing effect on both studio and independent domestic filmmaking, shown by an increasing number of international co-productions and Hollywood studio remakes.

    This panel will address questions on the future potential of foreign films in the broader international market, including issues such as international representation and the use of alternative distribution and marketing resources.
