The media world is undergoing a fundamental transformation in which 
companies and users are shaping new digital business models. In this 
process of change, innovation in processes as well as a solid grasp of 
market developments, potentials and international standards of 
comparison are crucial. State aid for film is a contested terrain, 
stricken with many challenges and threats to industry, filmmakers and 
government administration. However, it remains a pivotal tool for 
cultural diversity in the field of film media and other audio-visual 
services. This chapter provides a synoptic overview of key issues 
covered in the book.

This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of today's film industry 
and its global challenges, analyses public funding schemes for different 
national film industries, presents a reference framework to evaluate 
public funding schemes about goals, finance instruments, governance 
structures, and efficacies, and elaborates whether public funding is an 
effective tool for safeguarding the European film industry.
This book is a comprehensive analysis of the specificities of public 
film funding on an international scale. It shows how public funding 
schemes add value to film-making and other audio-visual productions and 
provides a comprehensive analysis of today's global challenges in the 
film industry such as industry change, digital transformation, and 
shifting audience tastes. Based on insights from fields such as cultural 
economics, media economics, media management and media governance 
studies, the authors illustrate how public spending shapes the financial 
fitness of national and international film industries. This highly 
informative book will help both scholars and practitioners in the film 
industry to understand the complexity of issues and the requirements 
necessary to preserve the social benefits of film as an important 
cultural good.
