New challenges and changes in 21st century audiovisuals

The health emergency that has covered 2020 and threatens to last for several years has thrown everything to do with audiovisuals into crisis. Production problems, limitations on going to the cinema or the rise of platforms such as Netflix or Amazon reflect changes in consumption, some already foreseen before the pandemic and others accelerated or even created by this exceptional situation. We will try to discern which changes we are going to face in the second quarter of the 21st century and whether they all correspond to the health emergency.
