Our RFI virtual cinema remains active, while theaters all over the world have closed their doors, in France, but also in Italy, Belgium, Great Britain, Tunisia, or California ...

Publicity

The industry of the 7th art, however, began, timidly certainly, but surely, to regain color, and this, despite the absence of American blockbusters whose releases are constantly postponed to better days, or even directly switched to platforms. .

We take stock with Éric Lagesse, director of the distribution company

 and of DIRE, the professional association of independent distributors, and with Richard Patry, theater operator in Normandy and president of the FNCF (the National Federation of French Cinemas).

We are also going to the United States (with Loïc Pialat), India (a report by Sébastien Farcis) and Tunisia (with Michel Picard) to see how the cinema industry is doing in these three countries.
