Abstract: A speculative appraisal is presented of the impact of the various parameters — economic, philosophic, material and psychological — that have affected and will continue to affect the motion-picture industry. The psychological aspects of the change may be as difficult to face as those which are more precisely defined as technical or economic. In the future the industry must be much more aware of the growing list of options in media techniques and materials and must be equally conversant with the dissemination channels possible in order to serve its customers more effectively. Filmmakers must either assume broader communication perspectives or be content to fill a lesser role as component suppliers to meet someone else's specifications. Certain trend-producing activities are noted and a number of conclusions are given regarding the future of the film industry. There is likely to be a period of dislocation and economic adjustment as the labor-intensive film industry attempts to interface with the capital-intensive electronic systems. Somewhere in this continuum of personnel and technical resources methods must be found to preserve conceptual innovation and perceptive insights and, at the same time, to increase program output to meet an expanding mosaic of real-time audience needs.
