While Ice Theaters will certainly keep a visible presence on the CineEurope trade-show floor, co-hosting daily breakfasts, participating in an afternoon panel on June 21, and of course running a stand fully stocked with visuals and promotional materials, sales exec Guillaume Thomine-Desmazures believes his most persuasive asset will be found off-site, in a Barcelona suburb 23 miles away.
There can be found the Ocine Granollers cinema, Ice Theaters’ first immersive screen in Spain and the company’s off-site centerpiece at this year’s expo. “I could speak about our theaters for hours or years, but in the end you just have to experience them,” says Thomine-Desmazures, who has organized a series of private demonstrations at the suburban cinema and rented a fleet of busses to bring attendees there and back. “Everything makes a lot more sense once you sit down and see for yourself.”

In the wake of the Weinstein scandal and in an effort to quash the endemic issue of sexual harassment hardly limited to any one country, France’s Nation Film Board (Cnc) launched a three-point plan that would require beneficiaries of financial support from the public film body to undergo sensitivity training sessions, to author detailed preventions protocols and to keep counselors on set.
Though the plan authored in 2019 was targeted at senior level producers and executives – the heads of production outfits asking for public support, in short – the program has subsequently expanded to encompass a wider industry swath. In 2021, the film board tasked the Superior Technical Image Commission (Cst) trade guild with running and organizing four separate sessions of differing lengths and focuses, aimed at the wider film production community.
Offering expanded training plans targeting producers, Hr representatives, and production manager, among others, the Cst held its first two sessions earlier this month,...

When “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” star Adèle Haenel revealed that as a child actor she had been a victim of sexual harassment, the French star kicked off an industry-wide reckoning that began in November 2019 and continues to this day. As the industry continues to grapple with these necessary questions, the Paris-based Production Forum will host a one-hour conference on Friday to present the results of recent inquiries while offering durable steps forward.
“Adèle Haenel broke the silence, and made the French industry aware that it was not immune from the phenomena of sexual or moral harassment,” says Commission Supérieure Technique de l’Image et du Son director Baptiste Heynemann, who will moderate the talk. “Our round-table will bring together film safety organizations, professional organizations, and trade unions for both film producers and film crews, all with the intention to get everybody on the same page.”
