 a>\nDominance of American Cinema America can touch all of Europe with stor
 ies\, but Europe cannot cover the entire market with its own stories. Why 
 is this\, actually? Will it work if we address more universal themes\, as 
 we did centuries ago with fairy tales? Or is more needed\, for example mor
 e synergy within the production\, distribution and exploitation process? W
 e are increasingly forced to scrutinize ourselves as Europe\, but are we a
 ctually capable of doing so? And what do we need for that? In this masterc
 lass Adriaan Bijl discusses the American studio system\, using Paramount P
 ictures as a case study. The evening before\, we watch a Paramount film (G
 host) on 16mm\, so you can immediately relate the material to the specific
 \, recognizable aspects Adriaan highlights in this session. He uses exampl
 es we all know and focuses on the general public reaction that follows. Wh
 y can't we do this as well in Europe? If it were up to Adriaan Bijl\, the 
 answer is crystal clear: unity is strength. About Adriaan Bijl Adriaan Bij
 l is a true all-round industry expert. He is a film historian and producer
 \, and for many years was Technical Coordinator for Universal Pictures NL\
 , Sony\, Paramount and Disney\; today he works more broadly within these d
 istributors. Adriaan is also an acting coach and screenwriter\, and regula
 rly gives guest lectures on storytelling and film history\, among other su
 bjects. He also often turns up as a James Bond expert and enthusiast. Prac
