The Screen Industries in East-Central Europe Conference
International Seminar
11–13 November 2011
Masaryk University
Brno, Czech Republic
The cinema and television of east-central Europe have tended to be considered in terms of national heritage, ideology, and style; to date, textual analysis has been a preeminent methodology and the region’s so- called new waves privileged objects of study. Conversely, the day-to-day operations of the region’s screen industries have received surprisingly little sustained investigation, with a paucity of attention having been paid to their modes of production, distribution, exhibition, and delivery, and to communities of industry personnel (beyond a narrow canon of celebrated directors, screenwriters, and actors). The Screen Industries in East-Central Europe Conference represents the region’s
first intervention into the field of screen industry studies – a discipline developing rapidly in the United States and Western Europe. Sponsored by the Czech Society of Film Studies and The Visegrad Fund.

Connected Viewing Workshop
18th of November 2011
Department of Cinema Studies
Stockholm University, Sweden
Special Guests:Stockholm University, Sweden
Anuraj Goonetilleke, Head of Digital Strategies, Warner Bros.
Brooke Brodack, YouTube Star, Viral Video Comedian
‹Connected viewing› is an important strategy recently adopted by the moving image industries. Connected viewing aims to change the experience with feature film and television by introducing digital, networked conversation into the process of media consumption. With patterns of media use customized by search and discovery technologies, and social networking sites beginning to figure more prominently as delivery platforms, connected viewing becomes increasingly important to content providers, distribution networks, and viewers alike. This international workshop will bring scholars and industry personnel together to critically address key questions about connected viewing trends as they relate to patterns of viewer engagement, content ownership and new digital distribution technologies.

mission
MINE connects
fresh European research to practitioner reflection on the state and future of media industries. The network offers a forum for bringing industry practitioners, new and established scholars, and policy experts into a lively dialogue, supporting research, teaching, and creative practice by a number of activities crossing disciplinary and national borders. MINE puts a particular emphasis on industries, countries and regions which traditionally have been overlooked by the prevailing focus on industries in larger and Anglophone countries. It puts a spotlight on emergent and peripheral industries which are influenced by and dependent on stronger media centres and geopolitical powers. MINE fosters research on audiovisual media entertainment from a multidisciplinary perspective combining the humanities (film and media studies, cultural history, aesthetics) and the social sciences (economics, sociology, anthropology).MINE’s mission is to bring together scholars, media practitioners and policymakers to:
1. create a forum for the interdisciplinary and transnational study of European media industries;
2. promote innovative methods of critical empirical research into media practices;
3. offer innovative formats for publishing research and practitioner reflections;
4. foster cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue in media industries and creative labour;
5. reflect upon the effects of globalization on media production communities and careers.
