Patrice offers an informative explanation of how blockchain technology could change this, and an honest and hopeful message about the potential for this technology to unleash a new generation of Chinese filmmakers. A wonderful read.

Autorenporträt

When he watched a re-screened version of 'Once Upon a Time in The West' at age 7 in his home town of Bordeaux, France - better known for its surf scene and its red wine - Dr. Patrice Poujol immediately fell in love with the cinema medium as an art and as a way to share ideas and emotions with others. After 8 years in the financial sector working on institutional and corporate projects including film finance with AIB in Ireland, Dr. Poujol continued his professional path in creative production. He completed the first PhD on blockchain and creative industries worldwide at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. He participated in a UCLA exchange and in the intensive MEFTI programme organised by MIT. He is now continuing his research in the areas of digital entertainment, blockchain and the creative industries as a research fellow of the centre for Applied Computing and Interactive Media (ACIM) at the School of Creative Media, CityU's Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre.

Taking his research as a solid foundation for his future work, Dr. Poujol is currently integrating his experience, his knowledge and his network in technology, finance, and media to continue his public policy research in Asia and to develop the Lumière Project with a team of experts from the tech world and the film industry. This project should contribute to make the film industry more equitable, creative, and transparent.
