You don’t get e-mails from the European Film Academy every day. At least I don’t. But strange things do happen in life and last year I was given an immense honour to design the logo for their new project International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk.
Here’s a short intro on their website: “To activate the film community’s collective response to cases of filmmakers facing severe risk, the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, International Film Festival Rotterdam and the European Film Academy have joined forces in establishing the International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk.” The logo was a bit nervous when it was first shown to the public but you can’t blame it — ICFR had it’s premiere at Venice Film Festival.
