[ecrea] European Screens conference - Debate on the implications of Brexit for UK film and TV

Debate on the implications of Brexit for UK film and TV – European 
Screens conference (University of York, 5-7 Sept)

University of York, 5-7 September, 2016

The British voters’ decision to leave the European Union is likely to 
have multiple consequences for the film and television industries in the 
UK and beyond.

MEDIA/Creative Europe funding, UK/European co-productions, the 
availability of British content on EU screens and EU content on British 
screens, the free movement of creative labour, the Europa cinema 
network, the Digital Single Market, the Audiovisual Media Services 
Directive, and UK tax rules are just some of the areas likely to be 
affected by the referendum result.

As part of the European Screens conference at the University of York 
(5-7 September), the MeCETES project will be hosting a special debate 
involving industry professionals and academic experts on the 
implications of Brexit for the UK film and television industries. 
Speakers include:

-Amanda Nevill (British Film Institute)

-Tim Bevan (Working Title Film)

-Mike Downey (European Film Academy)

-Duncan Petrie (University of York) – Chair

The three-day conference will provide further opportunity to discuss the 
implications of Brexit and many of the other challenges and 
opportunities facing film, TV drama and the audiovisual industries in 
Europe at this uncertain time, with debates on The future of public 
service broadcasting (Cassian Harrison, BBC Four; Katherine Sarikakis, 
University of Vienna; Ed Braman, University of York), Transnational 
adventures: European screens, European identity (Daniela Berghan, Royal 
Holloway; Laura Rascaroli, University College Cork; Tim Bergfelder, 
University of Southampton), Well-travelled European drama (Lucy Mazdon, 
University of Southampton; Paul Cooke, University of Leeds; Eva Novrup 
Redvall, University of Copenhagen), The state of European cinema (Will 
Higbee, University of Exeter; Angus Finney, London Film School; Michael 
Franklin, Goldsmiths University of London) and Enabling the circulation 
of European film (Martin Kanzler, European Audiovisual Observatory, 
Agnieszka Moody, Creative Europe – tbc).

There has never been a more important time for European film and media 
scholars to come together in the spirit of European collaboration, 
co-operation and cultural exchange, and in particular for UK-based 
academics to maintain and strengthen links with friends and colleagues 
in the rest of Europe. We are therefore delighted to offer a platform 
for over 40 research papers by academics from across Europe and beyond, 
covering the latest work on cultural diversity, transnational audiences, 
co-productions, historical drama, national representation, small 
national cinemas, and trends in European production, distribution, 
exhibition and consumption. The MeCETES team will also be presenting the 
findings of their three-year collaborative project on mediated cultural 
encounters through European screens.

Do join us for what will surely be a lively, timely and important event.
