Act Two: pressures and limitations of networks, platforms and festivals // The business models of factual programming are undergoing radical transformation. Models viable just a few years ago are now obsolete, and this rapid evolution can feel overwhelming. With no magic solutions available, we must solve our own challenges.
As commissions become harder to secure, producers often criticize networks and platforms without fully understanding the pressures they face. For a sustainable future, we must recognize challenges on both sides.
This two-act session examines the factual landscape through a conversation between producers, networks and festivals.
