“…European film policies such as the MEDIA programme and Eurimages tend to focus on traditional forms of distribution rather than emerging models and opportunities for digital distribution. Yet digital distribution has the potential to reach additional audiences across a range of platforms and to engage new audiences for films (Crusafon 2015;De Vinck and Pauwels 2015;Drake et al 2015;Kehoe and Mateer 2015). I will look at recent EU attempts to offer policy support for digital distribution of European Film.…”

This chapter explores the relationship between European co-production and distribution, and examines European policies designed to support film distribution including digital and VoD distribution. According to a European Audiovisual Observatory report, more than 18,000 films were produced in Europe between 2007 and 2016, with overall production on the continent growing by 47%, from 1444 feature films in 2007 to 2124 films in 2016 (Talavera 2017, 1). This notes an upward trend for most of the period for both national productions and co-productions, and the top five producing European countries-the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy-accounted for 53.6% of overall production in the 36 countries covered in the analysis (ibid., 16). This is concentrated, with the top 10 producing countries accounting for 73% of all films produced (ibid., 1). Within Europe, as I will examine, both the European Commission and Council of Europe have operated a range of production, co-production, distribution and exhibition schemes aimed to protect against US dominance of global screens, and to support and stimulate the production, distribution and exhibition of European cinema. The premise of these

This chapter looks beneath the purely quantitative data on cross-border availability by investigating audiovisual industry practices of online distribution from a peripheral, small-market perspective, using the example of export from the Czech Republic. Its key research question is: How have transnational VOD services integrated into the local industry ecosystem and to what extent have they changed the circulation trajectories of Czech films and TV series? First, it places online distribution within the local industry ecosystem and reveals the systemic barriers that discourage producers and distributors from strategically focusing on foreign markets. Second, it identifies the key intermediaries and practices of cross-border online distribution, focusing on the approach of global VOD services to distributing small nation content across borders. The chapter concludes with a typology of cross-border online distribution to distinguish different strategies and tactics employed by key players when approaching foreign markets. Thus, it calls for a more nuanced perspective on the position of “digital peripheries” in cross-border cultural networks and flows.
