This major 2020 study provides unparalleled analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on film and television production; calculating a global screen production value of $177 billion in 2019 – and a loss of $145 billion in economic impact over the first six months of 2020 – though the impact is likely to be temporary as production resumes.

The independent study was undertaken with the support of Media Business Insight, publisher of Screen International and Broadcast, and Netflix. It was endorsed by leading film commission associations and networks representing intergovernmental bodies around the world: Asian Film Commissions Network (AFCNet); Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI); European Film Commission Network (EUFCN); and Latin American Film Commission Network (LAFCN).
