[ecrea] New European Film and TV Culture Conference: Download Programme

*New European Film and TV Culture Conference: Trends and Challenges
Danish Film Institute
Wednesday 9 September, 2015.

Summary:*
What are the contours of the new European film and television culture
evolving through regional collaboration, EU support mechanisms and
policies for a greater European market, globalization and the digital
revolution? What are the main trends for production and creative,
transnational cooperation, and how are the prospects of changing the
fragmented European landscape of distribution and facing Hollywood or
the big new online players? What changing patterns of audience behaviour
and consumption do we see nationally and transnationally, and will
Europe be able to act together in the new competitive digital film and
television culture where place and space is beginning to change
dramatically?

This one day conference brings together researchers from the Mediating
Cultural Encounters Through European Screens (MeCETES) project, their
academic and industry partners, policy makers and key players from the
film and media industry in Scandinavia and Europe. MeCETES has been
working for two years on the contemporary tendencies in European film
and television production, distribution and reception – including film-
and media policies and the digital development. Results from this
research project will serve as part of the input during this conference.
However, the main aim is to establish a dialogue and exchange ideas on
trends and challenges in the current European media culture and the best
strategies for the coming years.
