SPI Managing Director Leon Forde Interviewed on the Current State of the AV Sector in Latin America

Earlier this month, SPI Managing Director Leon Forde was interviewed by LaTam Cinema. Leon provided his insights on several topics related to Latin America’s audiovisual sector. These included Latin America’s position within the “Global Production Deluge” pre and post COVID-19; the growing demand for VoD compared to traditional consumption; and the most urgent mechanisms that the governments of Latin America should consider to strengthen and expand their audiovisual industries.

The full interview can be found (in Portuguese) here.  

This interview comes following the publication of The Audiovisual Public Policy Landscape in Latin America. Here, Leon and SPI Executive Chair Jonathan Olsberg join other public and private sector audiovisual industry leaders in contributing to a collection of 20 essays focused on Latin America AV sector. Topics included Public Policy and the Audiovisual Sector; Crisis, COVID-19 and Recovery; Investments, Incentives and Film Funds for Local Films; and Diversity, Training and Preservation.
