THE FUTURE
Challenges and How to Succeed
Bigger & even Better productions
- We need to collaborate even more in regards to financing
- Nordic talent should be used even more across boarders
- Show Me the Money! - Further financing within the region
- More international collaborations without loosing artistic final say
- Talent moving away from the region (Hollywood) we must minimize it!
- Strenghten the artistic quality on a regional basis - Education, education, education…
Genre films for young adults- Nordic incentives to reach the young audience
Cross media - Challenge the traditional ways of storytelling
- Develop new business models
- Extend networks – work with other industries (games, music, publishing, interactive media, merchandize)
- More cross media activities like High Five Kids
Distribution- We live in a new digital reality – however the structure of distributionis still according to the old analogue world – it has to change!
- Continue to fight Piracy
- Better statistics = more knowledge = most clever solutions and new ideas
- Cinema is a vital window for most feature films, however there is a need for flexibility in regards to length of windows and platform independency
Cross Industry Collaborations
- More creative and innovative collaborations when entering the global market – when it ads value! (Creative Connections / Nordic Kitchen Party)
- Use of social media / community strategies should be expanded
- Permanent support schemes for international promotion and sales
on all platforms should be initiated (High Five Cinema & VOD) it PAYS BACK PLENTY!!!
