CresCine @FilmEU Summit 2024: Navigating the Future
CresCine is proud to have participated in the 4th annual FilmEU Summit hosted by VŠMU in Bratislava, Slovakia, from June 3-6. This week-long event was a remarkable opportunity for collaboration, innovation, and co-creation.
It marked the first time Universidade Lusófona - Centro Universitário Lisboa, LUCA School of Arts, Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology and Tallinn University were joined by alliance members VSMU, LMTA, National Academy of Theatre and Film Arts "Kr. Sarafov" and VIA University College for an in-person conference.
We were thrilled to engage with such a diverse and dynamic group of partners to shape the future of FilmEU.
Keynote Speakers
As part of the Summit, two Keynote Speaker talks were live-streamed:
June 4: Jakob Isak Nielsen "Future Models for the Film Industry in Small Countries"
Abstract: Small film industries in Europe share a common challenge: their domestic audiences are often too small to sustain a local film industry. However, the strategies to address this challenge vary significantly. In this keynote, Jakob Isak Nielsen presented research from the new report Small European Film Markets: Portraits and Comparisons. The research focuses on seven small film 'ecosystems' in Europe, highlighting four main avenues as essential orientation points.
June 6: Sarah Atkinson "The Future of Screen Media"
These insightful presentations provided a deep dive into future models for the film industry and the evolving landscape of screen media. We are excited about the new possibilities and strategies discussed to advance the film industry across Europe.
Stay tuned for our next newsletter for a full breakdown of the Small European Film Markets: Portraits and Comparisons Report!
