BHARAT NALLURI

Over the last few weeks, we have followed the journey a film has to make from the original idea through its development, production, and distribution. This week, our final week, we can review some of what we have learned. There's an extended assessment test at the end of the week, but we also want to think about the industry as a whole. We'll take a look back in time and think about what the future holds. We'll take a look into an archive that is full of film history. We'll learn that in many ways the industry hasn't changed much. It's still a risky but glamorous business that can still attract financiers, but at the same time make them very nervous.

We have an insight into how film productions have been overseen by financiers for many, many years. Some argue that the film industry is on the cusp of change. As we've learned, the film value chain is, like with other creative industries, under pressure to change. The contributors you've come to know over the course discuss what the future holds for independent feature films.
