FRED Film Radio radio

FRED Film Radio is an international radio network centred on cinema and the experience of film festivals. Its offering combines services organised by spoken language with thematic channels devoted to particular kinds of film-related material. Independent cinema supplies a central interest, with programmes addressing viewers as well as people involved in making, discussing and presenting films. The language services share a festival purpose while reaching listeners through different spoken settings. The thematic offering gives separate space to conferences, professional industry subjects, film education and entertainment. These roles reflect the range of activity surrounding cinema, from an interview about a production to a discussion of the work involved in bringing films to audiences. The network seeks to connect people unable to attend festivals with the experience of an event and to offer additional information for participants. Recorded contributions extend access beyond the original occasion. Its audience includes film enthusiasts, students, journalists and professionals, with that combination shaping a radio identity focused on cinema culture and its working environment.
