will be highlighted at next month’s Cannes Marché du Film Online’s focus on streaming platforms, as the world’s film industry seeks to get a stronger handle on the possible role of streaming platforms in future movie financing and distribution business models.
“The previous edition’s takeaways showed us the need to connect the various parts of the industry, tied together by constantly emerging streaming models across the studio and independent world,” said Jérôme Paillard, Marché du Film executive director, adding that “Today, more than ever before, we need to offer film industry professionals platforms – to connect, bond and learn from one another.
Dewey will focus on launching “during an unprecedented time, navigating the evolving streaming landscape and the importance of cultivating and nurturing underrepresented talent,” the Cannes Film Market said in a press statement Thursday. Mobile, short-form content app Quibi launched on April 6 to initial downloads that were “not close to what we wanted,” co-founder Katzenberg recognized, but, said CEO Meg Whitman argued in a Deadline interview published May 11, the reopening of the U.S. could boost usage for the on-the-go, short form video service.
