Crossing Borders

Concept

We believe that across the borders we have things in common, by screening and distributing European films which British people can connect with. We make people aware of the similarities.

Company Goals

• We want to:– Distribute European films in the UK– Expand the availability of European film on the

British Market– Make people less afraid of foreign film and

watching films in a different language– Show that European films are not foreign and that

they should not be placed in the foreign films section which only a few people go to

Other companies

popular among the general population in their home countries

not all weird• We are from different countries in Europe
