FRED‘s mission has always been that of being a film festival radio. So as an obvious consequence, FRED’s focus is and will always be the promotion of art-house and independent cinema.

With this idea in mind, we could not help but adding some film market insights to complete our coverage of the major film festivals through the years. At some point we realized that we could actually fill a gap by dedicating a channel entirely to the film industry and industry professionals, thus becoming “The Festival Insider” also with an industry perspective.

FRED INDUSTRY was launched in August 2014.

It provides complete coverage of the markets, with news, insights and interviews with the key figures in the film business along with debates and in-depth information about what is happening behind the scenes of both the festival and the cinema industry.

FRED INDUSTRY is a channel dedicated to industry professionals, a new tool for film professionals who could easily listen to updates on what happens at the film markets, using the FRED app on their smartphones or downloading the same contents in podcast.

FRED INDUSTRY had already a number of positive experiences covering the European Film Market, the Cannes Film Market, Business Street in Rome, CineLink at Sarajevo Film Festival, Ventana Sur in Buenos Aires, but also co-production markets like When East Meets West in Trieste.
