THE FORUM'S MEMBERSHIP
100.000 MEMBERS BY 2030
The Forum’s global membership will be proportionally divided by continent (see picture above), based on the following factors combined: population, market share of the theatrical exhibition and number of Countries where movies are being released theatrically.
There will be an International Directive Board, while each country will have one or more GALA Ambassadors, depending on the volume of work and population, to coordinate invitations, requests and general enquiries. It’s also very important the collaboration with all the film commissions around the world.
This membership policy will guarantee, with its diversity and scale, the most universal and accurate consensus in awarding the best films in the World each year, while steering away from polarized social and political influences.
HOW TO BECOME A LIFETIME MEMBER OF THE FORUM ? IN 3 DIFFERENT WAYS.
You could receive a direct invitation from the Directive Board or by one of the GALA Ambassadors.
