The 35th edition of the Bergamo Film Meeting, which unspools from 11-19 March 2017, is starting to take shape: in addition to the previously announced extensive retrospective dedicated to award-winning Czech director Miloš Forman, the event will welcome the promising young talents of contemporary cinema. Indeed, this year supported by the European Union through the Creative Europe MEDIA sub-programme, the festival will feature a specific overview of Continental cinema – not only through the new additions to its Competition Exhibition and its documentary titles, but also by means of the “Europe, Now!” section, which will boast the complete filmographies of three up-and-coming directors: Greece’s Thanos Anastopoulos, France’s Dominique Cabrera and Iceland’s Dagur Kári.
