1995 marks the 100th anniversary of the Lumiere brothers' invention of the film projector, which created the movie industry, and a social form of entertainment. This conference will commemorate this centennial event and look at the next 100 years. How has industry structure affected the production of film entertainment? How have the economics of film production and distribution altered the content and availability of film products? What role has government and institutional policies played in the industry? What has the role of content been in the industry? What will be America's future role? How did the financing of the film industry evolve, and where is it going?
