Europe is a multifaceted continent politically and economically. It has for many years had different core principles and models for audiovisual policies and practices.

The effects of digitalisation and globalisation have challenged traditions and ways of thinking both in politics and in the film agency’s practical application of this, but there are also other challenges such as the balance between cultural and economic policy purposes, between selective and automatic funding, between focus on cinema films and/or platform neutrality. It is more difficult to identify possible common European positions.

On what basis should collaborations and co-production be built? How important will European collaboration in the sector be and what purposes will it serve in an increasingly globalised world? What will happen with structures and business models for production companies and/or structures and business models that affect the operations of the production companies? And how should the sector manoeuvre in the increasingly politically polarised landscape?
