With Cannes 2022 still underway, we continue the conversation about how Festivals can influence the Distribution Process, with an emphasis on digital platforms.

In Cannes, two-time Oscar winner and former Un Certain Regard Jury President Guillermo del Toro kicked off a filmmaker symposium, exploring the future of cinema.

One question on the entire panel’s mind, has the streaming boom eroded the cultural significance of cinema?

How can virtual film festivals, membership programs and VOD models generate revenues for filmmakers? 

How has the proliferation of streaming platforms affected the film economy?

How does this apply to indie filmmakers who seek streaming opportunities?

We discuss these topics and more this week on the Filmocracy Podcast.
