A 3-Day International Symposium on Film and Television Production During COVID-19

April 9 - 11, 2022

The global COVID pandemic created havoc on public health systems, economic value chains and infrastructures, and the social fabrics of employment, family, and public life. In the film sector, industrial shifts towards streaming media, platformization, licensing digital properties, and big-tech driven contents became normalized as ‘home’ became a principal site for film production, distribution, and consumption. Meanwhile locational production, co-productions, and cinematic exhibition were disrupted, perhaps permanently. Film remains a unique sector to study as perhaps the only cultural or creative sector of national economies that was defined as ‘essential’ during lockdowns.

Sessions include: 

Polish Filmmakers! It’s a Netflix Emergency!
Pandemic Media and the Entertainment Sector in India
Taking a Cue from the COVID Lobby: Towards a Greener Film Politics
Tensions, Commitments, and Tactics Within the Dizi Industry During the Covid-19 Pandemic

And many more!
