This conference will be followed by a reception to which all 
participants are cordially invited.

This free public conference will examine the impact of tax shelter, tax 
credits and tax rebates on film and audiovisual production in Europe. 
The European Audiovisual Observatory has commissioned a brand new study 
from Olsberg•SPI which examines the effects of fiscal incentive schemes 
in Europe. The findings of this new report will be presented at this 
conference by its authors.

In particular, we’ll be asking the following questions:

- What other initiatives are needed to complement the fiscal incentive 
to deal with the anticipated needs of increased infrastructure as a result?

- How do you ensure a balance between growth of the domestic independent 
and international production sectors following the introduction of an 
incentive?

- What adverse effects could result from the introduction of an incentive?

An expert panel will then focus on the long term impact of fiscal 
incentives as a policy instrument in today’s European audiovisual 
landscape. Panelists will include:

- Benoît Ginisty, Director General of the FIAPF (International 
Federation of Film Producers’ Associations) (tbc)

- Jonathan Olsberg, Chairman of Olsberg•SPI

- Pauline Durand-Vialle, Secretary General of FERA (Federation of 
European Film Directors)

- Johannes Studinger, Head of UNI MEI

- Sanja Ravlic, Eurimages representative for Croatia, Head of 
Development at the Croatian Audiovisual Centre
