Now in its 15th year, Locarno’s think tank StepIn will debate “Power, People, Data and the Future of Film.”

“Last year, StepIn focused on one of the defining qualities of independent cinema: the willingness to embrace risk. One of the strongest conclusions from those discussions was that playing it safe is rarely the smartest strategy,” said Marcello Paolillo, Locarno Pro, StepIn and U30 Project Manager.
