The 13th edition of CICAE’s Art Cinema = Action + Management co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union gave a unique chance to 50 both young and experienced professionals of the art cinema exhibition industry, coming from all over Europe and beyond and working both in big cities and in small towns of our continent, to meet, learn and share their professional know-how with European colleagues during one of the biggest international film meeting in Europe, also a part of our common cultural and film heritage, the Venice International Film festival, the oldest film festival in Europe and in the world.During 8 days the participants could attend a full programme of workshops, conferences and discussions. 34 top-notch professionals from the arthouse industry had been selected and invited by the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE), the biggest association of art cinemas worldwide, to share their expertise with the participants and tackle the most important and actual challenges for the European and international art cinema exhibition industry. While stressing new aspects of the cinema exhibition to work on, like the Digitisation, Film Programming in The Digital Era, the New Distribution Models, the Programming alternative Contents and make cinemas a better place for disabled Audience, the training also kept teaching the core of successful exhibition working on programming, communication and marketing, audience development, team management and financing.Since 2004, the CICAE has already trained about 600 European participants with this training and helped thus the European and international industry professionals to connect, to build better and common cinema projects and to work as a European network. The training gives also every year a picture of the cinema market and of the parties involved in the field of film exhibition with conferences like Economy of Cinema or the chain of rights and the circulation of European films so that professionals have a crystal clear vision of the market in which they are moving and thus can adapt and take the smartest entrepreneurial decisions. With this training, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, CICAE contribute to the strength and the development of art cinema and of the art cinema exhibition industry in Europe and in the world and thus to the circulation of European films.
