THE POSITION OF CREATIVE PROFESSIONS IN CZECH AUDIOVISUAL SECTOR

Czech language only 

Open for Industry Accreditation

Screenwriters, directors, documentary filmmakers, cameramen, and editors, i.e., the creators and producers who fill the content of television programmes, have long been dissatisfied with their working conditions. The professional associations have come together and are bargaining collectively. What are the specific problems? How can they be resolved? And are the negotiations leading to any results? Do the creators have the right to decent conditions in their professions and, therefore, to a decent professional and personal life?

Before the discussion, Jindřich Andrš will present a summary of his research on the forms and conditions of co-production of documentaries in the Czech Republic, entitled The Culture of Cooperation between Directors and Independent Documentary Producers.

The event is organised in cooperation with Creative Europe Desk MEDIA.
