The company’s earnings per share stood at QR1.53. Nakilat’s board of directors recommended distributing cash dividends to the shareholders equal to 10% of the nominal value of its capital, which is equivalent to QR1 per share. During the year, Nakilat successfully deployed the company’s strategic plans towards maintaining its global leadership in LNG transportation and the integral role it plays in Qatar’s LNG supply chain. Despite the challenges facing the energy and maritime indus- try, the company managed to achieve positive results across its operations that exceeded planned expectations in 2017 through enhanced operational eff iciency and a reduction in general, administrative expenses and finance costs. Additionally, the net profit achieved in the fourth quarter of 2017 was higher than that achieved in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2016, by 21% and 16% respectively. Global agencies continued to rate Nakilat highly during rating aff irmations processes last year, and had attributed the com- pany’s success to its resilience to market volatility as well as its consistent and reliable record for operating LNG vessels. Nakilat’s board of directors commended the company’s steady financial results notwithstanding the challenging business environment, a reflection of the company’s strength and resil- ience. Complemented by strategic long-term agreements with well-established charterers, Nakilat has managed to maintain steady cashflow and generate positive value for our share- The QNCC board outlines the 2018 strategy before shareholders yesterday.

The board of directors also recognised Nakilat’s eff orts at attracting Qatari nationals to undertake various roles in the maritime industry which resulted in the achievement of the QNCC to operationalise ‘award for supporting Qatarisation’ at the Energy and Industry Sector’s Annual Qatarisation Review Meeting 2017.

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

Peruse the list of speakers for this week’s conference in Anaheim and you’ll findDiscovery and CuriosityStream founder John Hendricks, prominent political consultant Frank Luntz, Facebook cofounder and Philo CEO Andrew McCollum and Cheddar founder and former Buzzfeed pres Jon Steinberg. It’s not mere coincidence that so many of those names are from the digital space. “We used to come to these shows and talk about linear programming. But now the content we want most is over-the-top. Even though we live still in a cable linear video world, it’s important… when you look at our customers’ interest going forward,” said ACA pres/CEO Matt Polka. “Our members are saying, ‘we have to give our customers more of an ability to use broadband because that empowers them.’” Heading into the show, NCTC announced deals for its members to launch Philo and Cheddar. They follow previ- ous arrangements between the coop and Playstation Vue and Sling TV. The Indy Show is “vibrant with new exhibitors coming in and embracing the change,” said NCTC CEO Rich Fickle. “Several of them hope smaller operators move quicker than large guys and can help them to get established.

In order to remain at the vanguard, we are attentive to creative trends, business practices, technological advances and other changes in our medium — and, when necessary, to ensure that we remain relevant, we adapt. In 2017, we made several adjustments reflecting this imperative. At the start of the year, in acknowledgment of the prevalence and influence of dance in both scripted and unscripted programming, we expanded our board of governors with the addition of a new peer group for choreographers, who had previously joined as members of the Directors peer group. But with the increase in dance, and more opportunities for choreographers, their rising numbers warranted a new peer group of their own, bringing the number of peer groups in our boardroom to 30. Shortly afterward, we updated the rules and procedures for our marquee event, the Primetime Emmy Awards, with the creation of categories for music supervision and casting for reality series.
