IRIS Plus 2020-2: The European audiovisual industry in the time of COVID-19 (2020)
With its comparative analysis of approaches taken in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, this IRIS Plus helps the reader understand the diversity of approaches, interests, and measures taken across the film and audiovisual sector, and the diversity of the bodies taking them.
It is June 2020, and the European audiovisual sector is barely emerging from the COVID-19 crisis; although a full assessment of the short- and long-term effects of this crisis remains premature, a first set of observations can nevertheless be made. The immediate effects of the crisis have been diverse and have affected almost all the main branches of the audiovisual sector, ranging from the interruption of ongoing production projects to the shutdown of cinemas. Many emergency measures have been taken to deal with these immediate effects, but some of them, by their very nature, such as measures offering loans, are likely to be limited to deferring the impact.
