[ecrea] Europe on Screen

>Europe on Screen: Issues in the future 
>distribution and exhibition of European cinema
>
>A two day conference at The University of 
>Salford, Greater Manchester, 11th-12th June 2008
>
>The constant expansion of Hollywood into global 
>film markets and the continually shifting 
>notions of what constitutes the new Europe have 
>resulted in increased debate over the future 
>identity of European cinema. Alongside these 
>geo-political and economic changes, the rapid 
>development of new media technologies and 
>formats has meant that now, more than ever, the 
>distribution and exhibition of European cinema 
>is in something of a state of flux. One of the 
>results of this is the development of a range of 
>agencies and organizations that are directly 
>concerned with the future of contemporary moving 
>image culture across the continent.
>
>This two day event brings together academic 
>researchers in the field of Film Studies with 
>representatives of such agencies, creating a 
>dialogue that will be grounded in the 
>experiences of those involved in the process of 
>finding and maintaining audiences for European 
>cinema, and that will ultimately assess the 
>potential role academics and University 
>departments may play in this process. In order 
>to achieve this, the event will bring together 
>speakers from the UK and Europe to consider such 
>things as: the future of European national 
>cinemas; the changing role events such as film 
>festivals play in the promotion of national 
>products; the tensions and synergies between 
>popular and art house films; the role of arts 
>councils and other state-managed bodies in the 
>promotion and distribution of European Film; and 
>the impact of new technologies on distribution and exhibition.
>
