The impact of the crisis in the film industry in Europe

Abstract

This work analyzes the impact that the recent economic and financial crisis has generated in the cinematographic industries in seven countries of the European Union. Conclusions demonstrate that, in effect, the crises have negatively affected the industries of Spain and Italy, and very negatively in the case of Portugal; however, on the other side the industries in the UK, which has experienced a considerable growth, and France and Germany, have been successful, to a lower extent. In the second place, it is very remarkable the little collaboration reached among the European agents.
