Digital screen culture to the test: a large scale study on young film audiences in Flanders.

This research project focuses upon young people's engagement with digital screen culture in Flanders. Although the audience, and young people in particular, is often explicitly (or implicitly) present in discourses of the film industry and policy makers, large scale up-to-date surveys of audiences are lacking. Therefore, we propose a study on young film audiences, as a major shift in media and film culture has become manifest: young people are digital natives, born into a digital media environment, living in a fast developing world of downloads and streaming video.
