You don’t get emails from the European Film Academy every day. Or at least I don’t. But strange things do happen in life, and a couple of years ago I was given the immense honor of designing the logo for their project International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk.
Here’s a short introduction from 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 its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
