Besides having the opportunity to interact with international renowned figures of global cinema, such as Martin Scorsese, who will receive an Honorary Golden Bear for his career achievement at the event, Nepram will experience the rich and dynamic culture of Germany.
Nepram is likely to visit well-known institutions such as the Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen German Film Archive and the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf and discuss on film financing and location promotion.
