In November 1996, the European Commission published a report `The European Film Industry under Analysis. At the same time, the British film journalist, Angus Finney, published a book entitled `The State of European Cinema: A new dose of reality'.

In reaction to both publications, and on the occasion of the 26th edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the Audiovisual Platform in The Netherlands organised a debate on `The State of the European Cinema: An Industry under Analysis'. A report of this debate is now available.
