State-of-the-Art and Objectives

Art cinemas developed in Europe in the 50's, 60's and 70's. ; they now account for 4 to 5.000 among the 25.000 cinema screens of the continent. Their position is very different according to regions: organized networks in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland... mostly isolated cinemas elsewhere ... still, there exists in all countries a need for preparing the next generation of art cinemas directors, on markets getting tougher everyday.
The ambition of the "Art Cinema = Action + Management" training is to transfer to this new generation the specific know-how (methods, tools, ideas, contacts) for programming, animating and managing an art cinema.

Content

The training consists of a 10-day residential seminar, including theoretical lectures on the market background (economics, law, policies, technology), case studies / master classes, workshops and screenings. The lectures are translated in 4 languages, the case studies are held in language groups (English, French, German, Italian) and the workshops in English. All trainees will be accreditated to the Mostra du Cinema and the short film festival Circuito Off.

The 10 days were reinvigorating and has sent me back to work with fresh eyes. It was really fascinating to get a wider view of the international film industry and to hear the pressures felt in other countries and also those by non-exhibitors such as
distributors.

The CICAE seminar was a very nice place to hear from the cinema professionals about different issues that we affront every day, and to have the opportunity to discuss with other trainees our problems
and to try o resolve them.
Very good job done!
