About the FNC Pro      
           
3 X 3 X 3 is the closing event of the FNC Pro. The Festival du nouveau cinéma launches a section geared toward professionals, the media and students. The major upheavals of the last few years pose a challenge to existing models. New concepts such as convergence, multiplatform and transmedia need to be constantly reworked so that professionals can feel fully involved in the changes. Events presented by the Festival are rooted in local reality. With its international scope, the Festival is a prime platform for promoting know-how from Montreal, Quebec and Canada. A not-to-be-missed annual occasion to negotiate this century’s changes and pave the way for the future    
           
This year, the FNC Pro’s transmedia concentration will be held on 3 days (October 17-18-19, 2011), at the Agora Hydro Québec du Cœur des sciences de l'UQÀM (Headquarters of the Festival du nouveau cinéma).
