‘CINEMA– Organizing and Managing Creative
Enterprises’ is a research project
concerned with the study of the film industry and filmmaking,
studying how innovative, high framework filmmakers organize,
manage and combine creativity with commercial interests.
The film industry and filmmaking is seen as a prominent
example of a creative industry, where each production
is a new project demanding new collaborative partners.
Film projects are seen as complex, temporary systems,
which require creative-cultural, human, financial and
material resources to be realised. CINEMA focuses on
the nexus between culture and economy - as a central
problem in creative industries appears to be the coordination
of symbolic and material production, creativity and
commerce. The research question pursued is: ‘How
creative, filmmaking enterprises organize and manage
the coupling between artistic and commercial activities?’
The high framework film production dominates European
and Scandinavian filmmaking, yet our knowledge about
high framework film production is limited. CINEMA focuses
on the organizing and negotiation of roles, statuses,
identities and emotions in relation to core organizational
activities (divisions of labour, coordination of flows
of knowledge, the handling of complex tasks and practices)
related to filmmaking. CINEMA generates knowledge through
the application of systematic and rigorous qualitative
methodologies combined with a multi-method field study
approach.
CINEMA-project is funded by the Danish Social Science
Research Council and Copenhagen Business School
