WSA Film Music Days - Capacity Triangle Panel: Streamers in Europe: The Myths and The Legends
For the past few years some of the most foremost American streaming services have been trying to reconnect with local European television, film and music industries. Since the success of the Spanish spoken, Oscar winning film Roma, Netflix has pursued its ambition to create increasingly more locally made films and series, and has engaged European composers like Volker Bertelmann and Alexandre Desplat for their projects. With growing influence, questions and concerns arise. How do streaming services like Netflix operate in European countries? Which models do they apply with composers?
