Des membres du collectif seront à New York du 5 au 16 mars pour partager quelques beaux films et l’histoire de La Clef aux cinéphiles américain·e·s !
L’idée est de nouer des liens avec les « community theaters » locaux, mais aussi de trouver des mécènes pour nous aider à financer la rénovation du bâtiment : les dons américains sont défiscalisables à 100% grâce à Film Independent !
Alors si vous connaissez des film lovers sur place, partagez-leur le programme !
