Digital Distribution - Maximizing Reach and Revenues

June 27-29, 2024 | Copenhagen

The DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION workshop is a beacon for Film, TV and Documentary production companies seeking to navigate the tumultuous changes of the last few years that left the entertainment industry reeling. With traditional theatres struggling, VoD platforms looking for profits and the number of commissions dropping by the month, this workshop offers a lifeline, emphasizing the value of leveraging existing catalogues to adapt and thrive. The program underlines the prominence of alternative distribution models and provides crucial insights into monetizing content. Participants will receive a comprehensive view of the evolving market, including major players, and gain practical advice to extend their content's reach, therefore maximizing their catalogue's potential.

This workshop is grounded in real-world applicability, illustrated through current case studies and examples of successful deals. Led by international industry experts, participants will learn to develop distribution strategies that work in the current climate. Beyond knowledge transfer, the DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION workshop fosters community through networking opportunities, allowing European producers to connect with experts and peers. This creates a forum for establishing durable business relationships and a support network, which is invaluable for companies aiming to capitalize on their previous and existing works within the digital domain.

    Workshop Venue and Accommodation

    Den Danske Filmskole - The National Film School of Denmark

    For this year's edition of Digital Distribution, we have partnered up with The National Film School of Denmark and will hold the seminar program of the workshop on their campus!

    The Film School is a historically important focal point for the development of Danish film, both creatively and in relation to the professionalisation of the industry.

    The National Film School of Denmark was founded in 1966 and is Denmark's only state higher education within film and television production. We offer eight bachelor’s programmes for the most dedicated film talents. The school offers courses, masterclasses, and other industry events via our continuing education for professionals who already work in the film, TV, and games industries. And we conduct artistic research that creates new knowledge and contributes to the development of new methods and pedagogical practices, which are an important foundation for the further development of our programmes.

    The film school is also the centre for public cultural events. During the year, we host film screenings, artist meetings, and debates that put artistic, film-political, and societal agendas into play.

    Since 1998, the Film School has been located on Holmen in Copenhagen, close to the water, side by side with the other artistic educational institutions, which include the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation, the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, and the Danish National School of Performing Arts.
