Perspectives for the Future

The audiovisual milieu is constantly mutating, mostly regarding technologies.

Broadcasters are following the digital tendency, which forces more and more creators to produce within high standards of digital quality and to plan content for different diffusion platforms (webisodes, mobisodes, etc.). Equipments are becoming less expensive and so more artists are able to produce works of a high technological quality and to diffuse them themselves through web networks.

2005-2006

The Documentary Network was present at a number of workshops and conferences (Digiscreen, FFM, Digimart, etc.) concerning new technologies, in order to better understand their impact on auteur documentary.

A workshop for documentary filmmakers was held in September 2005 with Amy Hardie, President of Docspace (Scotland). She helped to implement a network of digital movie theatres in Scotland and she works actively with Docuzone, a European network of digital theatres for documentary.

2006-2007

The Documentary Network plans to create a committee of technological awareness with the mandate of closely watching the technological developments and familiarizing documentary makers with these.
