‘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
