The film data analyst Stephen Follows joins as our second Fellow in the Digital Cinema-Hub (DiCi-Hub).

Lecture: Insights into Film Industry Research (Stephen Follows) Thursday, 10.02.2022 6:00 c.t. - 8:00 pm (Virtual @ Zoom)

At the invitation of the Digital Cinema-Hub, the industry expert Stephen Follows gives insights into his data-driven research on the film industry. In his widely read and respected blog stephenfollows.com, he has the stated goal of "using data to reveal how the film industry actually works". Tackling questions that range from the business of film to gender representation in film crews all the way to recognizing patterns in movie posters, anything that can be measured is a potential topic in his over 340 published posts. In this lecture, Follows will use examples from his past research to shed light on his methodology and discuss how his process has changed with time.

The lecture will be held in English via Zoom. Attendance is open to anyone with interest in the matter. To register and receive the link, send a short email to haeusler(at)tfm.uni-frankfurt.de.
