July 11 – Yesterday was a very busy day in Tunis for Pier Luigi Malesani, Secretary General of the Permanent Conference of the Mediterranean (Copeam). Malesani carried out a mission in Tunis to coordinate with the representatives of the North African country the main actions of Copeam in Tunisia. In particular, the Tunisian Minister of Culture, Mourad Sakli, heard Copeam’s pitch for its audiovisual support project for festivals in the Mediterranean. With the general manager dell’Asbu (Arab States Broadcasting Union), Salah Eddine Maaoui, Malesani defined the operational aspects of the co-production “Inter-Rives 4”, centered on sports and with the participation of 12 public broadcasting facilities from all over the Mediterranean. The next workshop will be held in November in Italy, during which the documentaries made by filmmakers involved will be analyzed. Copeam also proposed the title for the next series: “Stories of Refugees in the Mediterranean.” Malesani also met the new president and general manager of the Tunisian Radio, Abderrazek Tabib, with whom he discussed cooperation projects in the field.
