Renowned film-maker Lord Puttnam has called for a European digital single market that retains scope for territorial licensing to boost cultural diversity and consumer choice and warned against an inflexible approach to release windows.
Puttnam, President of Film Distributors’ Association (FDA), made the comments in a keynote address at an FDA event for the UK film industry in London.
He also urged all branches of the film industry to embrace innovation as the digital revolution continues “at blistering speed”.
