“I think the combination of streaming and COVID, where people spend so much time watching video on-demand and streaming, has opened up the whole world of cinema in a really terrific way,” Mann told AFP on the red carpet.
Thanks to a new generation of filmmakers and streaming platforms, “there is a way to consume, to discover and to be interested in different genres, and so effectively the American public is opening up to the world,” said COLCOA festival director Francois Truffart.
