A panel discussion will address key issues of the European TV industry, such as financing, connecting content and audiences.
TV content is thriving, with high levels of creativity and quality, growing international audiences and production costs that match and sometimes surpass those of cinema. Yet digital natives have different expectations and new formats are emerging such as web-series, mobile first content and interactive content where TV and online content are combined. Broadcasters remain crucial for production, but global Video-On-Demand players are also investing in content.
Against this background, how should the future MEDIA programme pursue its goals of increasing cross-border circulation in Europe and reaching audiences? This European Film Forum will be an opportunity to look at these questions from the perspective of TV support.
