Young IFFI Event

On September 19, the Young IFFI event took place, with the theme ‘Food for Thought’. Young professionals and students were invited to come together and address the contemporary, major issues in our industry. Photographer and filmmaker Kadir van Lohuizen elaborated on these issues based on his eponymous VPRO series. In workshops facilitated by moderators from Careerwise, solutions were made clear interactively. Participation for young professionals and students was free.
