7.1 Name
The name stub ‘Film’ is a generic name for everything which has something to do with film making - for the big screen, for games.
7.3 Rationale
The rationale for the Line Silva°Film are many:
- The film sector in Silva is large with worldwide presence.
- It crosses several ValuSectors.
- Its services are being used to create box office hits around the world. 80%? of Silvaner have seen such a film but don’t know it.
- There is growth potential
- Silva has had a strong film industry since a century.
- A catalog - or the presentation of what is available - can help support networking, common projects.
- A dedicated Line - as a handle - supports cross-pollination activities with other Lines.
- A ‘State-of-the-Nation’ Report can be benficial for involved parties (incl. politics) in detecting what needs to be done, improved, etc.
- The focus on the varous film sectors creates an awareness which can support the discovery or development of new products, services or talent.
- It might be that the Federal States already have their own catalogs of the Film Ecosystem for their own areas. This Line can be used as a handle to pool them together for the Silva area.
Here are a couple of reasons why the nickname Silvawood is priceless:
- Volksmemes such as Hollywood, Bollywood, Silicon Valley, Silicon Slopes encompass a cluster of topics.
- People tend to remember volksmemes a lot easier than city or county names.
- They are on the march i.e. are spreading.
- The nickname Silvawood fits in with the Hollywood/Bollywood name schema.
- Bundling the film industry services in Berlin, Leipzig, etc under the Silvawood flag is easier to market globally.
- What people in Berlin do with a reference to Silvawood, helps those in Leipzig, and vice-versa.
