ImpACT x Cannes Next | Release of the 10th Nostradamus Report
Panel
May 22, 2023, 09:30 - 11:00 GMT+2
Palais Stage (Palais -1) & Online
The 2023 Nostradamus report ”Everything Changing All At Once” will be presented at Marché du Film on May 22 by media analyst and author Johanna Koljonen, followed by a panel featuring three of the report’s interviewees.
The 10th report explores how new production technologies powered by AI accelerate the restructuring of the traditional film and television industries. With market contraction, inflation, and recession affecting the industry, new business and financing models for production and distribution will be explored and adopted at a rapid pace. The report also delves into the impact of ad-funded content and connected TVs, and examines the challenges the industry faces in remaining relevant to young audiences.
Panel: The Future Context
The audiovisual industries are confronting the opportunities of a new technological leap in the midst of a challenging market. Making the right decisions is increasingly challenging – and completely crucial. Three experts featured in this year's Nostradamus report share their insights on adapting and thriving. What should you do today to successfully pivot into the transformed film industry of tomorrow?
Panel: Rikke Ennis, CEO, REinvent Studios; Neil Peplow, Director, London Film School; Sten-Kristian Saluveer, Founder & CEO at Storytek Innovation & Venture Studio
Moderator: Johanna Koljonen, Media Analyst and Author, the Nostradamus report
The Nostradamus Project monitors, predicts, and analyses the near future of the audiovisual industries. The initiative is founded and run by Göteborg Film Festival with support from and in collaboration with Lead Partner Film i Väst and with additional support from Nordisk Film & TV Fond, Region Västra Götaland, and Kulturakademin.

Cannes Docs | Doc Talk > Tales of Memories, Mysteries & Persistence: An Encounter with Asmae El Moudir
Panel
May 22, 2023, 14:30 - 15:30 GMT+2
Palais Stage (Palais -1)
Delving into the mysteries of the past, Moroccan filmmaker and producer Asmae El Moudir embarks on a transformative quest to unveil the truth hidden within her family's memories in her hybrid documentary the “Mother of all Lies,” premiering in the Un Certain Regard Section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Asmae's relentless determination to unearth the secrets of her family’s past led her on a decade-long journey of discovery, digging deep into the emotional texture of the lies that have shaped her life.
Together, we explore why this (her first feature) was not like any other film for Asmae. We discuss her inventive creative approach to the lack of images that compelled her to recreate a miniature neighbourhood, the profound sense of responsibility towards her family and community in telling their stories, and how the double role of director and producer of the film has shaped the production process and impacted her career.

Developed by Thessaloniki International Film Festival in partnership with Cannes Marché du Film & Berlinale's EFM and in collaboration with The Catalysts Agency
On November 5, 2022, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, in collaboration with The Catalysts agency and in partnership with Cannes Marché du Film and Berlinale's EFM, launched a series of three Think Tanks with the aim to bring together key stakeholders for a visionary reflection around the future of film markets as institutions and major players of the industry ecosystem. The goal was to detect relevant topics of concern, discuss upcoming challenges, and encourage an open conversation and mutual support for other European film markets and industry events, covering the entire scope of markets from smaller up to large scale organizations, willing to openly ask: What does an economically, ecologically and socially sustainable future of film markets look like?
After the initial Think Tank, held on February 21 at the Berlin's EFM: WEAVING THE MARKET FABRIC, a group of participants representing different stakeholders of the industry met again during AGORA at the 25th Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival to focus on MODELING THE MARKET SHAPE. The 3rd and last session - FINANCING THE MARKET PLACE - is taking place on May 18th during the current Marché du Film.
As originally planned, the results of these Think Tank sessions are now to be presented to Industry Professionals at an exclusive conference at the Marché du Film.
