FLEFF Festivals in Focus presents The Great Disruption: Streaming and the Global Entertainment Industries

By Patricia Zimmermann, February 19, 2023

Communications, business, and sports media experts probe how streaming and the global entertainment industries have reorganized the transnational media landscapes

The pandemic intensified and accelerated entertainment industry moves to multiply platforms, use long tail marketing, dispose of appointment viewing, recycle legacy content, and data mine. The expansion of streaming, blockbusters, day-and-date releases, peak TV, content migration across platforms, and new technologies has created perhaps the biggest disruption and reorganization since the coming of sound or the Paramount Decree of 1948.
