DATE: Friday, 2nd June, 2017
TIME: 10.30-17.00hrs followed by reception
VENUE: River Room, King’s College London, Strand Campus

 In response to both economic globalisation and technological 
developments, the past two decades have witnessed major changes in the 
film industries worldwide. Following on from the publication of a 
special issue of the International Journal of Cultural Policy (22: 5, 
2016) on ‘Film Policy in a Globalised Cultural Economy’ (guest edited by 
John Hill and Nobuko Kawashima), this symposium will discuss the 
economic, technological and political shifts shaping the global film 
industry and consider their impact upon the formation of film policy in 
Asia, Europe and the US. With speakers presenting on a range of 
international contexts, the symposium aims to offer comparative 
perspectives on creative industries policies with a special focus on 
film as both an economic and cultural activity.
