2 BUSINESS TRAINING There are now a diverse range of courses giving an all-round understanding of the film industry
Lessons learned in Europe W
hen it emerged at this year’s Berlinale that the European Union’s MEDIA Programme could potentially be curtailed after its current round
ends in 2013, the European industry was understanda- bly alarmed. In its two decades of existence, MEDIA has done much to support the concept of European business training — among other things — in a market where for too long new entrants were simply expected to be entrepreneurial, or have contacts, to get ahead. In 2011 the range of business training on offer, both
at entry level and for industry professionals, is impres- sive. And it’s a sphere adapting to the fast-changing European marketplace. Training which focuses on developing a wide skillset is prized as lines blur between sales companies, production companies and distribu-
tors. And the fast-growing transmedia arena is already being reflected in the training on offer. Europe’s creative training sector has a grand history,
with a range of schools developing the art and craft of some of cinema’s greatest film-makers, past and present. And the region’s creative training sector is also adapting to a reality where digital has changed the way films are made, and is increasingly offering students a grounding in the business realities of the industry. Screen International’s European training special out-
lines some of the courses at the forefront of Europe’s business and creative film education. And it profiles two institutions which have proved vital for the industry: the UK’s National Film and Television School and the MEDIA Programme.
