What Is the Future of the Film Industry?
One of the notable panels that took shape at this year’s Liberatum 2012 Hong Kong International
One of the notable panels that took shape at this year’s Liberatum 2012 Hong Kong International Festival of Culture was a highly informative discussion between Nansun Shi, Paul Schrader, Daniel Wu and Mike Figgis. Each heavily rooted within the film industry in their own right, the “Stories on Screen” panel welcomed an open dialogue to discuss the current status of the film industry, the future of Hollywood, as well as China’s rising middle-class and the increased accessibility of the country’s access to film and theaters. Revisiting the discussion between the four keynote speakers that took place during the weekend culture event, the discussion not only offers insight into each individual’s personal experience within the industry but also a welcome ebb-and-flow of comparing and contrasting worldviews.
