Since our first live session we've received so much feedback, emails and questions we feel it would be wrong just to store it all as a survey response.
For that reason we've created this community where you'll be able to bring up new topics, ask questions, discuss directly with each other, and continue the discussion also after the webinar has ended.
On behalf of the cinema community: Thank you for contributing!

The website www.celebratecinema.org15 is the central place where cinema exhibitors, movie distributors, producers, suppliers and everyone else involved in cinema, can get information.
It will be available shortly along with previous versions. Thanks Rob
Africa is on the cusp of COVID and will be severely impacted. I will ask my African friends to provide an update.
