Spano with an event study design of the impact of film releases on book sales.
There is a positive, significant impact of film releases on the probability to appear on bestseller lists. There is also a small negative effect 6 months after the release

Piovesan behind the success of books: from cultural concentration to capitalistic concentration. In French context.
Cultural concentration = what I would put in diversity on the demand/consumed side
Capitalistic concentration = concentration of ownership

In China, importance of education. Picture books contain little text and are therefore perceived insufficiently educational. Reading guides explain and suggest meanings. There can be quizzes.

Almost final session for me at #acei 2025 on books. First Svetlana Kharchenkova on creating a market for children's picture books in china. This is based on using "reading guides". They are analysed as localisation devices. Cf market device. Concept that moves away from notions centre & periphery

After a nice session on the economics of music and its impact on fairness, based on Fair MusE, it flows naturally into Michela Giorcelli on VIVA Verdi: an economic analysis of copyright and creativity.
I see it's quite a jump in the past, though.

Conclusion with wonderful things (to contrast with the rest of the presentation?) , notably the great works produced, that it can be pretty cheap to make an audiovisual work, for example with a few phones.
Finishing with a panel involving two interviewees

Akin: a lot of things in Kojima's movies that I have never seen before. Kojima: Akin is full of energy, a bit like Tom Cruise.
Akin will be a character in Death Stranding 2
Akin uses AI to write. Not the whole text but parts of it.
He sees video games as open space
May 18, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Last conference of the day, with Faith Akin and Hideo Kojima. What an interesting encounter it should be!

Intro of the session on crossing borders in animation: making international co productions work.
And already the reminder that animation exports: half exports for German films are animated films. And thanks @unifrance.bsky.social for mentioning @animamundieu.bsky.social and its objectives

Won the academy award, again against wild robot.
Box office of 40mln€ (only theatres)
It was a first for him too as a producer... And there ends a mandatory case study for @animamundieu.bsky.social
May 18, 2025 at 2:02 PM
No German involvement because they did not understand the universal scope. Hence Belgium.
Budget of 3.5 mln€ based on several sources
Artistically immersive camera (cf. Cuaron's children of men).
Also importance of the water effect: special Blender add-on
Musical composition in Latvia

For sustainability, it is not all bad. AI has an environmental impact but can be lower than traditional activities for example for clip production @streamscapes.bsky.social
In general AI can help being more efficient. And there are huge market opportunities
May 17, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Now talking about AI and its meant threats. James Cameron: focus should be more on outputs than inputs (hence more a traditional plagiarism question)
Transparency trap: companies conceal their use of AI because of public rejection
