Masterclass: Lucius Barre

Event Description

Open to Industry badge holders

This masterclass will review case studies on ways to maximize the impact of communications – from script to screen - and move public opinion from awareness to want-to-see.  It will also trace the history of festivals and markets and invite speculation on how their sustainability as incubators might be ensured.  

Lucius Barre promotes international distribution for films from many cultures.  He was the first international crossover publicist for Pedro Almódovar (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), Shinji Aoyama (Eureka), Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne (La Promesse), Zacharias Kunuk (The Fast Runner) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). He has also worked with such established filmmakers as Errol Morris (A Brief History of Time), Alain Resnais (Wild Grass), Carlos Saura (Fados), Hiroshi Teshigahara (Rikyu) and Johnnie To (Election).
