Open Cinema - Expert Impact

Cristoph Warrack,

Open Cinema

Met with David Giampaolo

Open Cinema enables any community have a cinema or make a film, and builds pathways to education and employment.

Since 2009, we have launched over 50 film clubs in challenged communities, and now franchises across Europe. The venues have received hundreds of experts from the film industry, from universities and companies in a dynamic range of fields. The filmmaking programmes have now produced almost a hundred participatory and advocacy films.

About Open Cinema from Open Cinema on Vimeo.

David commands an eagle-eye view on companies poised to scale, and on the investment landscape catalysing their growth. It was valuable to spend the time considering my business from the perspective of a senior investment executive.
