Course objectives
The Way to the viewer or current practice in classical and non-traditional film distribution
The goal of this course is to introduce the students the contemporary situation and the basic methods of traditional film distribution and in the same time offer the look inside non-traditional forms of distribution. Film distribution is not only traditional concept of selling license for different distribution platforms (cinema, TV, DVD, VOD, etc.), but also the distribution of films in sharing within and outside the institutions, which are primarily preoccupied or are contractually bound to it. At the end of the course students should focus on the current distribution system, understand its basis and theoretical reflection. At the same time they will have practical experience of acquired knowledge.
