FRED Film Radio meets Marion Döring once again. We caught up with the director of the European Film Academy (EFA) in Lecce, Italy at the European Film Festival, where she served as president of the jury of the main competition.
As a representative of EFA, Döring fully supports the cause of director Oleg Sentsov and, along with filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, accompanied Askold Kurov, the director of the documentary The Trial: The State of Russia Vs. Oleg Sentsov, in his presentation of the film to the Italian audiences.
Döring analyzes the role of filmmakers and in general of European cinema to build consciences, to generate awareness on the social and political situation surrounding us all. As the Young Audience Awards ‘ ceremony is approaching, Döring also talks about how important it is to educate, form and develop an audience for European films starting from young students who are ready and prepared to watch independent films.
