Bologna Seminar 2013

Engager les communautés à l’ère numérique

Led by Ian CHRISTIE (Professor of film in London, Great-Britain) and Madeleine PROBST (Programme Producer, Watershed Media Centre in Bristol, Great-Britain), this seminar will address the question of the future audiences, the different digital generations and the cinema communities.

How do we get the next generation of digital savvy communities crossing the threshold of our cinemas in a world of ‘everything, everywhere, now’? How do we create routes into that ‘enchanting’ moment of watching a film in the cinema, that collective experience - where film defines itself, where its full meaning has the potential to be revealed.

Plenary sessions and workshops – also led by Maciek Jakubczyk (T-Mobile New Horizons, Poland) and Mathias Holtz (Folkets Hus och Parker, Sweden) – will enable exhibitors to exchange know-hows and share their experience of programming initiatives, special events and marketing strategies, in particular with young audiences in mind.

As every year, this seminar will take place in the framework of ‘Il Cinema Ritrovato’. The festival is devoted to the (re)discovery of restored classic films, with public screenings taking place on the Piazza Maggiore in the historic city centre.

IMPORTANT: THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO ALL NETWORK EXHIBITORS FROM EUROPE AND PARTNER COUNTRIES. THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IS LIMITED TO 30 PERSONS.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE ORDER THEY ARE RECEIVED. HOWEVER, PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO EXHIBITORS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN PART IN ANY PREVIOUS SESSION AND FOR WHOSE YOUNG AUDIENCES POLITIC SEEMS ADEQUATE TO THIS YEAR’S THEMATIC.
