Presentation The future is now Statistics on the cultural industries demonstrate that Catalonia is well-placed in terms of entrepreneurial strength in order to provide a host of cultural spectacles that are tailored to suit market demand.

2010 has unquestionably been a prominent year for the Catalan audiovisual industry. In addition to the success achieved in film, a host of TV movies have attained much acclaim from critics and audiences alike. These productions were often based on texts by Catalan authors, illustrating the extent to which ties between Catalan film and literature have been fruitful. Moreover, Catalonia is the leader in the Spanish animated film sector due to the emergence of projects which show great potential for internationalisation.

The performing arts have once again demonstrated the fact that success stories in programmed Catalan theatre productions can become structural accomplishments thanks to the consolidation of several business projects. In 2010, theatre continued to achieve widespread acclaim among audiences.

The visual arts have shown they possess a huge ability to nurture new cultural platforms, some of which have become leading international referents. Cooperation between gallery associations has given rise to joint ventures intended to draw a much broader public.

The publishing sector has also succeeded in forging a new generation of writers to lend Catalan literature a new lease of life. In addition, companies are engaging in decided efforts to adapt their publications to suit digital formats, moving away from traditional supports, and to create online projects. Nonetheless, despite these positive aspects one should not overlook the major challenges the sector faces on account of digitisation and its impact on the entire value chain.

In the same manner as the film industry, the music sector has come to showcase a generation of Spanish and Catalan musicians who have attained much acclaim from the public. Moreover, the organisation of music markets and festivals that have come to constitute a solid sector in themselves has been significant in providing global music events including concerts, markets, educational activities and research events that have drawn new audiences. This boom in festivals is in contrast with the difficulties that the record industry continues to face, especially in the physical market, due to the impact of digitization and its downside, piracy, although the success of Catalan pop this year has led to an increase in turnover compared to the previous year.

In this context, we are faced with the difficulty of further boosting these good results in coming years as they are marked by the recession, digitisation, changes in the forms and formats in which culture is consumed and the need to put right the flaws brought about by public/private partnership model currently applied in which a determined policy aimed at fostering creation and production has led us to lose sight of the major significance of distribution, exhibition and mediation systems in order to promote new policies that will be decisive when Catalonia’s productions and output reach their market.

These challenges suggest that the future we have often considered as distant is now upon us. It is a future/present that should require us to do our best in engaging in new public/private partnerships with the aim of coming up with initiatives founded on six main areas: joint responsibility in drawing up new policies to address current challenges; financial input in order to revive the entire value chain across all sectors; speedier investment-based funding lines suited to the exploitation periods of the sectors; a panoramic/360º approach to the exploitation of cultural productions and the incorporation of other sectors, such as video games; commitment in order to raise companies’ innovation ability; and support for internationalisation to define new markets and new creation exchange and sharing forums.

The future is now. Behind the positive prospects shown by culture companies there lies a reality that we need to face head on without delay.

THE ICIC AND THE AUDIOVISUAL SECTOR The year 2010 marked a record for film production in Catalonia. Of the 201 films produced in Spain, 96 were Catalan productions or co-productions, that is, 50.5% of all the production in Spain. The market share for Catalan productions went from 5.3% to 8.9%, showing remarkable growth.

However, it still remains well behind other film industries such as Sweden, France, Denmark or Italy, all with shares exceeding 20%.

We should make special mention of the success of Catalan films, and especially those made in Catalan, in festivals and awards during 2011. The success of Pa Negre (Black Bread) at the Goya Awards, where it received nine awards, as well as prizes for La mosquitera (The Mosquito Net) in Karlovy Vary and Elisa K, Bicicleta, cullera, poma (Bicycle, Spoon, Apple) and Aita at San Sebastian, among others, made up a bumper crop of our audiovisual output in these prestigious circles. This context has led to the development of projects such as Catalonia Cinema, a season of Catalan films with both prestige and box office success shown in nine cities in Catalonia with the aim of promoting the Catalan cinema brand.

MAIN INITIATIVES

As for screenings, while the attendance of audience at Catalan film productions doubled, there continued to be a decline in overall cinema attendance figures this year, which went from 22,584,807 to 20,432,597 audience, a drop of 9.5%. This is all occurring in a time of technological challenges, since the transition to digital cinema will mark the future of the sector for years to come.

In the field of television production, a number of projects resulting from the existing agreement between the ICIC and TVC to promote Catalan audiovisual production resulted in high-quality television productions such as Ermessenda or Les veus del Pamano, which obtained record audience figures and confirmed a connection between productions made in Catalonia and their natural audience.

As a result, the ICIC will maintain its commitment to Catalan productions but will extend its support to other elements in the audiovisual value chain. The two main pillars of the policy of the ICIC in 2011 and subsequent years are those of strengthening the distribution sector based in Catalonia and assisting the exhibition sector with technological modernisation.

THE ICIC AND THE PERFORMING ARTS Among the objectives of the Performing Arts department, the highlight is the consolidation of theatre and circus companies in Catalonia. One of the aims of the ICIC is for theatre and circus companies and producers to have the necessary conditions and resources to continue to exercise the high quality and rigorous leadership that they have maintained for so long.

The instruments made available to support them are grants and the lines of work which have been established, all based on the logic of the industry, so that the aid is focused on production and distribution, basic activities by companies, the performance venues and production companies. The ICIC has worked, therefore, on the one hand to provide stability to the artistic structures with the longest history on the performing arts scene of Catalonia and, on the other, to promote the levels of production needed to maintain programming schedules, basically involving the private theatres in Catalonia.

In the area of promotion, of particular importance is the section on fairs and festivals, which includes the Tarrega Street Theatre Fair, La Mostra, Igualada Youth Theatre Fair and the Grec Festival in Barcelona.

As for this year’s new developments, there are subsidies for the filming of plays for television in order to generate new audiences, particularly to provide additional earnings for the actors involved in the filming. It is aimed at companies involved in the production and/or presentation of performing arts. The other new development involves repayable contributions for the distribution and marketing of cultural products throughout Catalonia. The aim is to provide producers and companies with an a priori funding mechanism that allows them to take a certain level of risk (in box office terms) in the theatres and municipal auditoriums of Catalonia.

THE ICIC AND VISUAL ARTS The art market is undergoing a process of transformation.

Globalisation, the introduction of new artistic languages and changes in the information circuits have led to new forms of production and exhibition. However, the artistgallery relationship remains a determining factor in entry to the market, and the work of mediation by art galleries, as the first showcase for the various artistic trends and as a cultural driving force, is still an essential connection between the creation or production of the artwork and the consumer. As a result, the work of the ICIC is aimed primarily at art galleries, their professional associations and companies that organise activities related to dissemination and promotion within this sector.

In terms of contemporary art exhibitions, we should highlight the existence of the international trade fairs Loop and Swab. The former, specialising in video art, is linked to the moving image festival “Screen from Barcelona” and, with nine editions under its belt, is the undisputed benchmark for audiences and professionals in the sector from around the world. Swab, which held its fourth edition in 2011, is dedicated to the latest trends in contemporary art and above all presents emerging artists who are represented by young galleries.

A new commitment to the sector with an international scope is Talking Galleries, the first edition of an international conference aimed at professionals in art galleries around the world, to be held in Barcelona in September 2011. Also in this regard, on the initiative of the Galleries Association and since 2008, the industry has been providing the platform Artícula (www.articula.info), the benchmark showcase for Catalan and international art. The portal provides access to sixty galleries that have a highly dynamic range with frequent turnover of around six hundred artists and about two thousand works, and receives an average of 3,600 visits a month.

Other important events in the sector are organised jointly by the four associations of Catalan art galleries: the Association of Art Galleries of Catalonia, the Barcelona Art Association, Art Catalonia and the Independent Galleries of Catalonia. On the one hand, the GAC awards, which are presented during the Nit del Galerisme (Gallery Night) are a form of public recognition for those people and organisations who have contributed most to the spread and development of the art market. On the other, la Tardor de l’Art (Autumn of Arts), which held its third edition in 2011, is a festival that brings galleries together around programmes that are designed to introduce them to a wider audience.

THE ICIC AND BOOKS Book publishing is a mature industry in Catalonia, as well as a strong industrial tradition and a valuable cultural asset. It accounts for 34% of guild-affiliated publishers in Spain and occupies a position of leadership in terms of market share, with half of the total turnover. Regarding publishing in Catalan, the share is around 26%, indicating that it is solid enough, although weaknesses still exist.

The introduction of new information and communication technologies, and the increasingly important role of business and technology platforms, not only involves profound changes in the processes of production, distribution, sale and consumption of books, but also a change of business model for the sector. This is currently the greatest challenge in the world of book publishing.

Since 2010, however, production data and sales have been showing signs of stagnation and retreat, as is also occurring with foreign trade, which, despite the positive trade balance between exports and imports, shows a pronounced decline which can be attributed mainly to the crisis. An important and positive factor, in this respect, is the growing role of the European Union as the main receiver and issuer of books in Catalonia.

The activity of the ICIC in this sector is principally to advise the sector on digital transformation, while also aiming to strengthen the book market, especially in Catalan and Aranese, with instruments aimed at financing. These objectives are accompanied by actions aimed at placing an emphasis on marketing, prescription (especially in the bookshop system with the seal of quality), the visibility of books (with a special focus on the catalogue and books in Catalan) and an increase in the consumption of books. In this sense, the ICIC supports the structural initiatives promoted by corporate entities in the sector as well as thirteen trade fairs, thus contributing to the deseasonalising of the sector and the placement of books on the cultural agenda of the country, as well as directly with the public.

While book publishing accounts for most of the exports of cultural goods from Catalonia and the Catalan publishing industry is the main exporter of books in Spain, turnover is around 18%.

THE ICIC AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY Consumer culture is not in crisis and the habit of creating, producing, promoting and especially listening to music is even less so.

It is true that some business models relating to music are in the middle of a process of change and that it is necessary to have a rapid and decisive adaptation to the new ways in which the music industry will need to operate.

This phenomenon explains our unashamed commitment to setting up events for sharing reflections, thought and knowledge in order to help the music industry to adapt its business and production model to the new situation and to move towards the places where the trends are heading in our globalised world.

The success of Catalan pop-rock - of Manel, Els Amics de les Arts, Mishima, Antònia Font and many others - should not overshadow the productive creative period being undergone by many other groups and music genres which, without having the dazzling emergence of those acts, are also flourishing in this difficult time for the global economy.

Music is being consumed more than ever and, as a result, culture is being consumed. It is important to establish the appropriate mechanisms so this culture of consumption is again channelled towards the professionals in the industry, so it can keep enriching the value chain that goes from the creator to the end consumer, via promoters, distributors and managers.

At ICIC we have decided to display our support for live music. This support involves providing resources to those festivals and concert seasons or programmes that help in offering live showcases for all this creative ferment. The festivals are all selling out and ticket sales for regular programmes and seasons are offering promising figures, although this sector is also being affected by the economic crisis.

As a result it is important to also remain committed to training: the training of new professionals in the broadest sense of the term and the training of new audiences.

MAIN INITIATIVES New frameworkrelating to the actions promoted by private initiatives aimed at promoting and consolidating the music industry Promotion of PrimaveraPro, SonarPro and the Vic Live Music Market as meetings for discussion, reflection, thought and knowledge.

Maintenance of support for the Cases de Música (or Music Houses, a new initiative for musicians) or music workshops as tools for training new professionals and new audiences

THE ICIC AND CULTURAL COMPANIES One of the main objectives of the ICIC is to encourage the development of the cultural industries and contribute to the maturity of the sectors by applying new tools and support services.

As for services, in 2006 the Business Development Service (SDE) was created within the ICIC with the aim of providing support to cultural companies during the process of their consolidation as companies and contributing to improving their competitiveness, which provides favourable conditions for innovation in management.

One of the main instruments for supporting cultural companies is that of repayable contributions, which consist of a financial contribution to specific projects that have favourable expectations in the market. The repayable contribution is based on the principle of joint responsibility shared between the public and private sectors and, consequently, the expectation of a return on the funding based on the results of the project. During the year 2011 it is expected that two new lines of repayable contributions will be presented: one which is specific to aid for the distribution of audiovisual works and another for the distribution and marketing of cultural products throughout Catalonia.

The Business Development Service (SDE) has two main axes of action: – Management training: through the organisation of seminars, workshops, lectures and day conferences focusing on specific topics of interest to cultural companies.

– Consulting: through a specific line of funding to carry out consultancy services to businesses and cultural organizations.

This year, the Department of Business Development is broadening its competencies and incorporating institutional relations. The main objective is to centralise and organise the institutional relations between the ICIC and the agencies and public and private institutions from different regions of Spain in order to create bridges of cooperation and promote joint working lines.

Another financial instrument, launched in 2009, involves loans with preferential terms for the financing of investments in both capital goods and technology, as well as in processes of business concentration, acquisitions of intangible assets or research and innovation activities.

THE ICIC AND INTERNATIONAL PROMOTION The cultural industries occupied the sixth position in Catalonia’s trade balance in 2010, with 30% more exports than imports. While the book publishing sector continues to occupy the top position in foreign trade, artistic creation activities and shows have had a positive growth in the last three years in terms of the balance of trade.

The ICIC, through the International Promotion Department and its offices abroad (Berlin, Brussels, London, Milan and Paris), aims to promote the international production and promotion of professional ventures, promoting the export of Catalan cultural production, and involving benchmark agents in the international deployment of companies.

The markets with which there is the most trade are the countries in the European Union, for the obvious reasons of proximity and development, although in Latin America and the rest of the world there has been an increased presence for Catalonia’s cultural industries in recent years.

From 2011, the International Promotion Department now incorporates the audiovisual sector within its lines of action through the platforms of Catalan Films & TV, Media Antena Catalunya and Barcelona-Catalunya Film Commission, in order to achieve maximum efficiency in its actions and projects which have an international dimension, either directly or through their association with other projects.

However, the marketing of Catalan cultural production presents difficulties, especially regarding productions in Catalan, so it is important to support cultural companies in their processes of dissemination, promotion and internationalisation.
