The Covid-19 pandemic is the first truly global crisis that has disrupted not only our daily lives, but also almost every area of the economy. Where does the audiovisual industry stand at the moment? The cinemas are closed. Filming is not taking place, or only with great restrictions. Premieres are postponed or moved to VOD platforms, where more and more viewers are also migrating. What challenges will it face after the pandemic? And is it possible to return to the old norms, or should we expect a change in the audiovisual industry as a whole?
