Business, as usual, is gone. We are stuck between what isn’t working without knowing how to move forward.
Broken business models and value chains. Creative stagnation. Shrinking audiences. Collaboration, access, and financing structures that are unrepresentative of the diversity and abundance of voices and stories in the world. A heavy carbon footprint. A lack of responsibility. A fear of technology for the future. All these are well-defined, talked-about ills and worries in the film & tv landscape in Europe and globally.
Now, highlighted across the backdrop of a global political, energy, and environmental crisis, it is time to (re)start the conversation. To (re)connect our joint agency, (re)imagine, (re)generate and nurture new forms and avenues of leadership in the community, and take concrete, decisive and immediate action.
The Near Future Retreat: (Re)Starting the Conversation is a half-day, invite-only, Chatham house rules-based* thought retreat for the film & tv landscape’s current and future leaders, creators, professionals, and shapers. We promise a safe space for frank exchanges in a confidential environment, inspirational moments for visionaries, with experts from other disciplines, aimed towards taking action for a resilient and sustainable film & tv landscape of the future.
The Near Future Retreat: (Re)Starting the Conversation is organized by Industry@Tallinn Baltic Event & New Nordic Narratives
