Going through the Göteborg Film Festival's 11th Nostradamus Report released in Cannes on Monday and feel like sharing a lot from it. But I'll start with one quote from the first chapter that is about the market correction and industry crisis; "What will not work is waiting for someone else to solve our problems. Technology companies will not spontaneously take our values, workflows and needs into account. Audiences will not suddenly behave as though they live in some completely different media landscape. This is as true for a hundred-year-old film studio as for a plucky creative collective just out of film school. With everything changing all at once, no one can tell you what is a reasonable business model for your project or your company. Venerable institutions and powerful people have made the wrong calls over and over. If you think something different, see another opportunity, you might be right. We each have to figure out what we are not willing to compromise on, and navigate the next years, project by project, by that north star." Warmly recommend all the industry collegues to read through the full report! https://lnkd.in/gqg9cAkW

By selectively favouring certain films, programmers can demonstrate to others that they hold the power to grant favours, thereby creating a self-sustaining system influence. This dynamic not only undermines the integrity of the film selection process but also discourages merit-based recognition, leading to a homogenized and less innovative film landscape. https://lnkd.in/g2AVRY39

CEDLA SEMINAR Cinema and Culture in the Andes DATE: 10 October 2024 TIME: 14.00-17.30, followed by drinks VENUE: Bushuis (Kloveniersburgwal 48) Room F0.01. This seminar invites you to delve into South America’s Andean region through “small cinemas” that connect its contemporary cultures, social realities and histories. These are filmmaking processes that challenge hegemonic ways of producing and exhibiting films. This notion of small cinemas was first conceptualized in Europe to refer to films produced in regions and languages that have been historically marginalized in European national cinemas. In the South American context, it refers to audiovisual productions that are ignored by the national film industries, in countries that are sidelined by the larger film industries of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Upon registration you will receive the full seminar programme. The seminar will also be recorded and shared to CEDLA’s YouTube channel shortly afterwards. Join us on Wednesday, October 9th, and Thursday, October 10th at 20:30 for a special screening of films related to our seminar. These screenings are brought to you in collaboration with Filmhuis Cavia. +INFO AND REGISTRATION https://lnkd.in/gVs4aGxK

UK Asian Film Festival 2025 dates and theme announced! WHEN: 1 -11 May 2025 THEME: Longing and Belonging We invite filmmakers from around the globe to submit their works to the "Longing and Belonging" theme of the annual UK Asian Film Festival, a celebration of films that explore one of the most profound human experiences—the search for connection, identity, and purpose. In every corner of the world, people wrestle with feelings of longing—yearning for love, home, acceptance, or meaning—and the deep desire to find a place where they truly belong. Whether it’s a story of a displaced immigrant, a journey of self-discovery, a quest for love, or the tension between tradition and modernity, we are seeking films that creatively and thoughtfully delve into these emotional landscapes. Your film could explore: • Personal longing: The internal struggles for identity, self-acceptance, or reconciliation with the past. • Cultural displacement: The experience of being torn between two worlds or searching for a new home. • Relationships: The complex dynamics of belonging to or yearning for a family, community, or a lover. • Existential search: Films that probe deeper questions about the meaning of life, home, and place in the world. We encourage bold storytelling, fresh perspectives, and artistic experimentation. Whether your work is a quiet meditation on identity, a visually arresting experimental piece, or a character-driven narrative of migration or self-acceptance, we are eager to see how you interpret this timeless theme.
