🎬 OFFICIAL TRAILER: MADE IN ETHIOPIA Filmed over four years, “Made in Ethiopia” reveals China’s significant yet often misunderstood impact on Africa. It immerses viewers in two contrasting worlds: a bustling industrial landscape driven by profit and progress, juxtaposed with a serene countryside where life adheres to the rhythms of the seasons. As the film’s compelling narratives unfold, it prompts a reassessment of the dynamics between tradition and modernity, economic growth and social welfare, and the overall development and welfare of a nation and its people. Following a sold out World Premiere at @Tribeca , we are thrilled to release the trailer online and keep the conversation going. 🎟️Rush tickets are still available at the door half an hour before screening time.

The EAVE IMPACT THINK TANK is back in Trieste for its 8th edition✍🏻 Over the last couple of days, participants explored the often unseen mental and emotional load producers carry as the backbone of screen production. Once again, the initial insights were shared during the EAVE Impact Think Tank Panel, underscoring the importance of putting ourselves first: setting our own pace, learning to say no, and establishing clear boundaries in a field that, by its very nature, is deeply connected to the heart of emotions. HOLDING THE CENTER: PRODUCER CARE AND RESILIENCE - in conversation with Lise Lense Møller, Alyaa Musa, Lori Lozinski, Sam Solo. Moderated by Tamara Dawit. #WEMW2026
