[ecrea] Cfp - European Co-production Symposium

CALL FOR PAPERS
European Co-Production Symposium: a multi-disciplinary
conference of scholars, practitioners and policy professionals

23-24 November 2016
University of Copenhagen,

Keynote Speaker
Roberto Olla, Executive Director, Eurimages


The European Co-production Symposium will explore co-production as the 
expression of a complex political and economic apparatus, and aims to 
bring to light the intricacies of producing a film across national 
borders with different production cultures and policy environments. The 
major objective is to identify and discuss issues confronting the 
European co-production system following a decade marked by three major 
challenges: 1) the global financial crisis; 2) the emergence of the 
Digital Single Market and new digital release windows; and 3) the trend 
towards the globalization of co-productions.

An associated aim of the Symposium is to establish a broader network of 
researchers working in the area of European co-production, with a view 
to pursuing future collaborative projects and publications. Scholars 
from the world of film studies, but also film history and economics, 
political science, as well as cultural studies and sociology are invited 
to participate. Scholarly papers will be complemented by industry 
roundtables, case studies and screenings, thus facilitating a dialogue 
between the academic and film industry spheres and creating a space in 
which the various facets of European coproduction are considered and 
debated.

 
Topics may include, but are not restricted to:
•	Historical and contemporary perspectives on European identity and 
transnational production practices
•	Co-productions in light of the financial crisis of 2007/2008
•	Co-productions in the context of the Digital Single Market
•	Financial joint ventures versus official co-production
•	Public support mechanisms and how these enable and/or inhibit 
co-production
•	The interface between financing and filmmaking
•	Education and training in the practice of international co-production
•	Case-studies on regional cinematic collaboration, as well as 
co-production from the perspective of individual European countries
•	Challenges specific to European co-production
•	Collaboration with non-European countries
