Abstract: Satélite, Quarteto, Apolo 70, Estúdio, Passos Manuel are the names of some of the small cinema screens that constituted the restricted group of co-called "studio cinemas", one of the most relevant phenomena of film distribution in the 1960s/1970s. These screens, through innovative practices of film distribution and exhibition, constituted a pole of transformation of cinema as a social phenomenon, fostering a widening and formation of cinephile audiences looking for the new cinema expressions that tended to be overlooked by traditional distribution. While first emerging in the 1960s, it was during the 1970s that the studio cinemas became a significant cultural and social phenomenon in the context of film distribution. Firstly, because the number of these screens increased from a mere 3 screens in the 1960s to over 10 in the 1970s. Secondly, because some of the specificities of this type of cinema only emerged in the 1970s.

Abstract:
Is cultural decentralisation a myth created by the marketing systems in
democratic societies or a reality, part of a strategic objective of the
outlying regions development? Does the lack of resources block or stimulate
the creative engineering of a local project that serves as an alternative to
the old speech of impossibility and marginalisation given the educational
and informational needs of local populations? Does Portugal’s geo-cultural
diversity permit an interesting productive model of complementarities and
projects between regions and cities? What is Portuguese contemporary culture?
And what original expressions does it encapsulate? Is the Anglo-Saxon
colonialisation of the South an inevitable process?
Other questions may be added to the above that justify and provide
foundations for strategic options and their implementation in urban cultural
management programmes.

Abstract:
The question of artistic
professions and employment plays a central role in contemporary cultural
life, symmetric to the question of audiences, demand and consumption of
culture. Changes, problems and expectations are related, in this field, to
artists’ socio-professional status and conditions, authors’ rights and other
forms of protection of intellectual property in the field of new
technologies. They are also related to the markets for artistic works and
professional employment, markets that are reconfigured and recontextualised
in scenarios of mediatisation, and cultural internationalisation. These
trends are also inevitably associated to the enlargement of the cultural
sector as a "cutting edge tertiary sector" that fosters job creation and
acts as a source of reserve employment in expectation of economic "inputs".
It would be important to produce an in-depth reflection on such essential
questions, but the scope of the present text is far more limited, offering a
brief and initial approach to a set of statistics and leaving for posterior
analysis conceptual problems associated to notions of profession and
employment in the fields of art and culture.
