Hollywood, the iconic hill that shaped the history of cinema, is now seeing its stars fade away. Much more than just a mythical place, the community represents a major industry for California’s economy.
Shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic, strikes, and devastating wildfires, the film industry is struggling to catch its breath. The box office is plummeting, and studios are increasingly relocating for lower production costs, be it in the United States or abroad.
Is Hollywood at the dawn of a revival or at the end of its reign? Valérie Defert and Pierrick Leurent speak to a prop master turned shooting instructor, an unemployed actress, and studio managers to explore the challenges facing the capital of world cinema.
‘Hollywood on the brink?’, a report broadcast on France 24’s four channels (in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish), YouTube, france24.com, and social media platforms.
Discussions will take place on Sunday, May 25, at 10:10 PM Paris time.
