> About the Special Issue
>
> This issue of Wide Screen is interested in the ways in which the 
> contemporary media environment has changed the role and function of 
> a producer. We would like to understand new models of production 
> emerging as a result of new media environments (multimedia, game 
> industry, internet). Does the multimedia environment lead to a 
> greater specialisation on the part of particular producers in 
> relation to the content they deliver, or does it result in producers 
> extending their activity into a wider range of media and content? 
> How do the profession, work, role and function of a producer differ 
> depending on the national context in which they function? What is 
> the impact of EU-wide policies on production practices in Europe?
>
> Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>
> Wide Screen invites articles on individual producers focusing on one 
> of the following themes: co-productions, festival circuits (film, 
> television and computer games markets), EU funding programmes and 
> policies, education and training, freelancers vs in-house producers, 
> networking, contracts, creativity, risk-taking, types of producers 
> (creative, executive, line-producers), contracts, relationship with 
> talent (directors, writers, actors), DVD releases (in particular
