As part of Estonian Presidency of the EU Council, Estonia will hold a visionary conference entitled "Pictured futures: connecting content, tech & policy in audiovisual Europe" on 27-28 November 2017 in Tallinn.

Discussions will include where the European audiovisual market is going long-term, where the EU should strive to and how new business models based on algorithms and big data analytics are impacting the industry and our culture more broadly.
Held in co-operation with the Black Nights FF and Industry@Tallinn, the speakers' lineup includes Jeremy Darroch (Sky, CEO), Barak Berkowitz (DIrector Of Operations, MIT), Efe Çakarel (CEO of Mubi) and the Academy Award winning producer Lord David Puttnam.
