Directors Talk to Directors – Pia Borg & Raf Roosens

They will have the floor to talk all about cinema! They have made short films, still make short movies, produce, have seen their films selected in various festivals around the world, have made a first feature film or are taking the step to do so. Immerse yourself in the minds of these filmmakers and discover pathways, inspiration and artistic visions.
