Presentation of a new audiovisual hub
Recently, a significant presentation of the Catalunya Media City Project was made, which includes an expansion of the Audiovisual Park of Catalonia in Terrassa, with the addition of two large set. This initiative reflects a firm commitment to the growth of the country’s audiovisual industry, focusing on the training, innovation and use of avant -garde technology.
An optimized timetable for implementation
The project not only lays the foundations for the future audiovisual hub, but also has a more agile execution plan than it was initially planned. This collaboration between the public and private sectors offers hopes to avoid the delays that other infrastructure projects have set in Catalonia.
Need for a new legislation
With these new infrastructures underway, the need for legislation adapted to the digital age is urgent. It is essential that the Government promote a new law that replaces the current one, which has become obsolete in the face of drastic changes in the audiovisual sector.
Review of existing regulations
With the new legislation, it is a good time to review the above proposals and design a legal framework that really responds to the current needs of the audiovisual, including cinema and video games. The integration of all forms of audiovisual in one law could facilitate more effective and coordinated support.
Key objectives for the new law
Five key points are presented that should guide the creation of this new legislation, with an approach to a system that integrates the diversity of the audiovisual sector.
Audiovisual education in schools
It is crucial to incorporate audiovisual education in school curricula, not only to foster cultural knowledge, but also to create new audiences that value local production. This need has been recognized for decades, but the measures have not yet been implemented.
Promotion of Catalan production
Catalan content production must be a strategic priority, not just an option. It is necessary to ensure that the contents in Catalan have proper visibility and become an essential part of the audiovisual offer.
A National Museum of the Audiovisual
The creation of a museum dedicated to the history of audiovisual in Catalonia is a necessity that continues to be satisfied. At a time when Catalonia celebrates its audiovisual milestones, it is time to seriously think about a space that preserves and promotes this inheritance.
Looking to the future
As we approach the 130th anniversary of the first Catalan film, it is vital for Catalonia to provide the necessary resources to ensure a vibrant future for its audiovisual industry. Legislation, infrastructure and training are the pillars that will help us build this promising future.
