  • Trends of Pakistani Films: an Analytical Study of Restoration of Cinema
    Trends of Pakistani films: An analytical study of restoration of cinema Fouzia Naz* Sadia Mehmood** ABSTRACT People prefer to go to the cinema as compared to theaters because of its way of execution and performance.

  • Coronavirus and the European Film Industry
    BRIEFING Coronavirus and the European film industry SUMMARY With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused the shutdown of some 70 000 cinemas in China, nearly 2 500 in the US and over 9 000 in the EU, the joy sparked by the success of the film industry in 2019 has quickly given way to anxiety. Shootings, premieres, spring festivals and entertainment events have faced near-total cancellation or postponement due to the pandemic, thus inflicting an estimated loss of US$5 billion on the global box office; this amount could skyrocket to between US$15 billion and US$17 billion, if cinemas do not reopen by the end of May 2020. The EU film sector is essentially made up of small companies employing creative and technical freelancers, which makes it particularly vulnerable to the pandemic. The domino effect of the lockdown has triggered the immediate freeze of hundreds of projects in the shooting phase, disrupted cash flows and pushed production companies to the brink of bankruptcy. To limit and/or mitigate the economic damage caused by coronavirus, governments and national film and audiovisual funds across the EU have been quick in setting up both general blanket measures (such as solidarity funds and short-term unemployment schemes) and/or specific industry-related funds and grants (helping arthouse cinema and providing financial relief to producers and distributors). For its part, the EU has acted promptly to limit the spread of the virus and help EU countries to withstand its social and economic impact. In addition to the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII) and the CRII+, both approved by the European Parliament and the Council in record time, the Commission has set up a Temporary Framework allowing EU countries to derogate from State aid rules, and proposed a European instrument for temporary support (SURE) to help protect jobs and workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Don Fernando Cordero Rusque
    Revista Aerohistoria del Instituto de Investigaciones Histórico Aeronáuticas de Chile - Febrero 2020 Pág. 2 Editorial El año recién pasado, recuerdo haber encabezado el editorial de nuestra revista Aerohistoria, con la siguiente sentencia: “Quienes defienden el uso de grafitis por doquier, argumentando que es una expresión de arte, están …más perdidos que el teniente Bello”. Ahora, transcurridos estos doce meses, en donde nuestra Patria casi toda, se ha visto expuesta a vejámenes, inacción, indolencia y desidia nunca antes sospechados, vemos con impavidez, la diferente reacción que emerge de entre las autoridades encargadas de la custodia patrimonial versus la de los ciudadanos, ante el deterioro del patrimonio nacional, que arteros ataques acompañados de desvergonzados y desafiantes grafitis, amenazan, ofenden y destruyen por doquier. Quienes los realizan, lejos de usar solamente los llamados espacios públicos, invaden muchas de las veces sin consideración o respeto alguno, los espacios privados que muchos chilenos nos esmeramos en cuidar y mantener como un testimonio cultural o simplemente como un legado para la posteridad. Sepan que este bajo y cruel actuar, ya no “está de moda”, ya no es una expresión de lo que se autodenomina opinión y decisión popular, ni menos es arte ni registro de él. El “arte del pueblo y para el pueblo”, ese que no necesita permiso final para su libre ejecución, se basa en una expresión de cariño y entrega, no es nunca de amenaza, ni menos atenta contra los valores y respeto patrio. Esta disculpa de algunas autoridades competentes, es simplemente una mentira, una falacia que atropella la inteligencia que además, menoscaba el verdadero patrimonio de este pueblo, puesto que finalmente destruye sus cimientos, argumentando una malentendida libertad de expresión, que socialmente exime los deberes y los derechos, sin el menor respeto a lo que otros, entendemos como una herencia que debe ser cuidada y resguardada.

  • Film Festival Research from an Organizational Studies Perspective
    Creativity at Work: Film Festival Research from an Organizational Studies Perspective By Charles-Clemens Rüling & Jesper Strandgaard Pedersen August 2010 Page 1 of 13 Creative Encounters Working Papers #49 Abstract The annual film festival is a very European institution invented more than 60-70 years ago. As a research topic, however, film festivals have received surprisingly little and scattered attention within organization and management studies. Film festivals have recently met a mounting interest among film and media scholars. This article provides an introduction to the growing literature on film festivals and argues for a threefold research agenda within organizational studies by looking at film festivals as arenas of emergence, analyzing the role of film festivals within the global film industries, and studying film festivals as organizations. By suggesting this research agenda we intent to draw the attention of organization and management scholars to a hitherto overlooked and potentially promising area of research for organization and management studies. Keywords Film festivals, field configuring events, cinema, events. Authors Charles-Clemens Rüling is an associate professor of organization theory and coordinator of the Creative Industries Research Group at Grenoble Ecole de Management (France). His research focuses on the institutionalization and maintenance of creative industry events and on professional life trajectories of creative talent.

We are both excited and proud to present our third edition of this unique and propitious industry platform. MAFF Market Forum was launched with the ambition to bring the two worlds together, intertwining them with a tailored program created to build partnerships in an intimate environment. We bring together producers, funders, distributors and lm professionals in order to foster a cultural exchange and expand the production landscape. MAFF Market Forum was sprung out of the same ambition as the festival itself; to promote the Arab lm industry, create a gender and cultural diversity in the lm industry, and of course - to ensure all stories get a chance to be heard and seen. Even before the implementation of the rst edition of MAFF Market Forum, we realized that the initiative would have a major impact. Said and done - today, after only two years, several Nordic-Arabic lm collaborations have been implemented and initiated through our platform. And when we say our platform, we include an incredibly important part of the success; the participants. We are beyond thrilled to every year welcome lm professionals from all over the world. is year is no exception, and some of the most signicant and inuential institutes and organizations from both the Nordic countries and the Arab world are attending.

  • The Tradition of European Film Festivals and Cultural Diplomacy
    Silvia Făgărășan M.A. in International Relations & Cultural Diplomacy ICD Berlin, January 2014 The Tradition of European Film Festivals and Cultural Diplomacy In the context of cultural diplomacy1, film festivals represent powerful vehicles for bridging ideas and networks across the globe, since they facilitate access to large numbers of people to connect and interact, whether in terms of the film industries or as audiences who are interested in exploring the wold beyond cultural stereotypes. Film festivals are integrated into a political economy of cinema, thus their role against the background of cultural diplomacy is hard to neglect. Through the ever-expanding digital technologies, the moving image holds a strong position within the complex dynamics of social, cultural and economic relations. Consequently, the moving image is not only a concept linked to the legacy of modernity, but also a platform for organizing, developing and spreading content across different cultures on the globe according to the principle of soft power2. In general, it is claimed that the vital purpose of film festivals is to facilitate access for commercially unavailable films for wider audiences. To bring to communities, whether film-savvy or less invested, the occasion to see films that they would not easily see on TV or on the Internet. Moreover, film festivals allow the professionals the opportunity to come together and collaborate on joint projects, as well as introduce the lesser trained or experienced in the complex mechanism of the film industries. However, the most consistently diplomatic trait of film festivals is the way they engage a vast network of people, creativity and concern for social issues through the mere practice of film-making.
