Cíle předmětu
This lecture has been designed to stimulate an interest in the economics of film. Attention is focused on supply side arrangements in the industry, industrial concentration and patterns of film demand and popularity. Both producers and audiences face risks. These are elaborated. The course will draw upon recent literature in the field and takes a historical perspective. John Sedgwick (Department of Economics, Finance and International Business, London Metropolitan University) is interested in the evolution of film as a commodity and the nature of the systems by which films are produced, distributed screened on the one hand and consumed on the other. Specific interests are: Economic History of Film; Box-office and attendence analysis; Theory of film choice; Britain and the U.S. in the 1930s; The U.S. in the post war period. http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/depts/efib/people/john-sedgwick/home.cfm Publications: Popular Filmgoing in 1930s Britain: a Choice of Pleasures, Exeter, Exeter University Press (2000).
