Anna Berthollet, founder of Lightdox, says: “We admire and support the wonderful work of FIPADOC industry team and we feel so excited to start this partnership. When I attended the event in 2020, I was deeply impressed not only by the quality of the projects but also by the inspiring and friendly atmosphere each one of the professionals could benefit from. As Lightdox and FIPADOC were born at the same time [2018], a collaboration to accompany our mutual development is the most natural step to follow.”
