    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world.

YALE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Professor James W. Hay Professor Steven G. Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Cameron R. McCarthy ABSTRACT Runaway production is a phrase commonly used by Hollywood film and television production labor to describe the outsourcing of production work to foreign locations. It is an issue that has been credited with siphoning tens of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs from the U.S. economy. Despite broad interest in runaway production by journalists, politicians, academics, and media labor interests, and despite its potential impact on hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of workers in the U.S., there has been very little critical analysis of its historical development and function as a political and economic discourse. Through extensive archival research, this dissertation critically examines the history of runaway production, from its introduction in postwar Hollywood to its present use in describing the development of highly competitive television and film production industries in Canada. From a political economic perspective, I argue that the history of runaway production demonstrates how Hollywood’s multinational media corporations have leveraged production work to cultivate goodwill and industry-friendly trade policies across global media markets.

These are internal aids used for the promotion of social and economic policy objectives. as referred to in Article 11 of the Subsidies Code. The EEC is of the opinion that such programmes do not constitute subsidies in terms of Article XVI. The attached notification comprises a Community contribution and a contribution in respect of two member States - Germany and Belgium. 84-1591 L/5603/Add.15/Suppl.1 Page 2 STEEL INDUSTRY 1.1 Aids to the steel industry are the subject of a code of aids that was instituted in 1980 and strengthened in 1981. 1.2 In February 1980, when the Commission made its decision regarding specific aids to the steel industry, the prolonged crisis in that industry had weakened the financial position of most steel undertakings to a point where they were unable to carry out the restructuring which was needed, in particular, to adapt capacity to foreseeable demand. The essential aim of the decision was to establish a Community aid system under which specific aids couId be accorded to the steel industry for certain defined purposes, provided that they promoted restructuring, were restricted in duration and intensity and did not provoke unacceptable distortions of competition. 1.3 Having regard to the increasingly grave crisis in the steel industry, this decision on aids was no longer an adequate instrument to deal with the² problems arising and, in August 1981, the Commission adopted a new decision which is applicable until the end of 1985.

  • The Effect of Film Industry on Tourism ∗
    WINTER IS COMING! OR NOT? THE EFFECT OF FILM INDUSTRY ON TOURISM ∗ Marina Tkalecy Ivan Zili´cˇ z Vedran Recherx Abstract Nowadays it seems there is competition in attracting film producers to screen their produc- tions in specific locations, but at the same time, there is also a lack of data-driven academic research that measures the effects of film industry on local tourism. This study evaluates the effects of film industry on tourism outcomes in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and in the World|Dubrovnik, Croatia. Using the synthetic control methodology developed by Abadie & Gardeazabal (2003), we estimate the effect of a highly broadcasted TV series, Game of Thrones, on tourist arrivals. We find a robust and positive effect of filming the Game of Thrones TV series in Dubrovnik on the number of tourist arrivals. Additionally, we show that there are possibly large positive spillover effects on other Croatian counties and the whole country. Using placebo tests, we show that the estimated effects are relatively large when compared to other Croatian counties implying our results are not driven simply by chance. Keywords: Dubrovnik, film tourism, Game of Thrones (GoT), synthetic control.

  • A New Methodology for Feature Film Production in Australia
    EMBRACING INNOVATION: A NEW METHODOLOGY FOR FEATURE FILM PRODUCTION IN AUSTRALIA When this paper was first written by Robert Connelly and produced by David Court and Allan Cameron (AFTRS ), there was much discussion in the industry about business models. We believe this document continues to present critical dicsussion points for content creators about feature film distribution and specifically how important it is to consider audience within your business model. A new methodology for feature film production in Australia The AFTRS Centre for Screen Business is pleased to introduce Robert Connolly’s new paper on the Australian film industry. Robert has put together a bracing analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing this sector, based upon his own experience and on research covering overseas industries. The paper consists of two main parts, as follows: Part 1: Why do we need a new methodology? In this section, Robert offers an overview of the feature film industry, including the opportunities for innovation and the entrenched practices that he believes are holding it back. Part 2: Key issues and proposed changes Here, Robert cuts to the main areas of concern. He puts together a list of 10 constructive proposals designed to move the industry forward. These are: 1. Create positive incentives 2. Allow a first dollar share for filmmakers 3. Offer cast and crew a realistic share of returns 4. Base fees on value and experience, not on percentages 5. Match budget models to projects, markets and personnel 6. Match cast fees to marketplace investment 7. Adapt insurance requirements to reflect the scale of the project 8.

All passages quoted from publications or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. 10/07/2020 Date Signature 2 Abstract Topic: The Impact of the Film Industry on Tourism Name of Author: Andrea Zurdo Vara Course/Year: Bachelor of Business Administration in Tourism, Hotel Management and Operations, 2017 Pages: 76 Content: A new emerging trend within modern tourism has been dubbed as film- induced tourism. While this growing phenomenon presents many benefits, it is crucial to address the potential disadvantages such as over-tourism and the lack of research about the topic. Accordingly, this thesis attempts to define film-induced tourism, as well as to explore the relationship between films and tourism. An analysis of the current tourist profile and the level of general knowledge of the term studied is examined. Moreover, imagery, consumer behaviour and motivation play a distinctive role when choosing a travel destination, being these analysed to understand tourists’ motivations. Hence, the main aim is to investigate the influence that the film industry has on a destination and the motivational aspects that drive tourists to choose their next travel destination after consuming said content.
