with the ongoing battle between hollywood and streaming services netflix amazon and the others have now infiltrated the oscars the golden globes of the like i think you have a more nominations for the big budget movies they've been making of course keeping people sofas rather than going out to the cinema or. is there room for everyone in this major part of the entertainment business. marriage story a great family drama by no one. and the irishman martin scorsese's 3 hour gangster epic starring robert de niro films were hard to find in units movie theaters after their release nearly all the city sentiment operators refused to show them part of an ongoing battle in the film business. and that's netflix has no respect for cinemas as places we don't take part in netflix releases because i don't want to be exploited by an internet company for

internet content. christiane fire has run art house cinema is in munich for years he also lobbies on behalf of more than $300.00 cinema operators and they are angry they say netflix is breaking the golden rule that films are made 1st and foremost for the cinema and are shown exclusively on movie screens for at least 4 months after release and only then are they shown on t.v. or streaming services netflix puts its productions online 2 weeks after they're in theaters and many theater operators see that as an existential threat. but not all of them are taking part in the boycott a few munich cinemas are screening the netflix productions like the irishman although it had been available on netflix for 2 months by the time and this is creating many moviegoers deliberately chose to see it on the big screen. it's the same at the cinema run by. his colleagues say they won't show netflix productions

out of a love of cinema he shows them because he lives in an. apartment for from the beginning i intended to run the cinema the way i wanted to and to show films that i want to see on the big screen and that my audience wants to see i have lovely big screens in my theatres and then there's a film like the irishman which has images that work well and leave a strong impression when shown on a big screen i think it would be absurd not to show it in a movie theater. yet for me for the top sort. mathias who fixed newest cinema was recently chosen as the best in bavaria he says cinemas will survive not because it's the only way to see movies but because it's the best way to see that. my colleague mark kruger joins me now we've seen the opinion differing opinions from 2 cinema owners but what about what about the people who make the movies whether they're making movies for hollywood all the streaming services want to very

thing well i think they just think well great because that means more contracts new possibilities of course the streaming services make quick decisions they are willing to take risks and of course the filmmaker is left of course especially in germany there are very rigid structures and if a director wants to make a movie for example full of very young audience there are few rules and more possibilities and well even with the people are just following the money this is a good shot even marty scorsese for example the only way to realize that i was a man was the corporation for not flakes hollywood wouldn't give him the money so he did he made the deal and on the other hand it was very important for him that this film was also shown in the cinemas because he sat please please please don't look at it on the phone please because this is something. filmmakers also have to

deal with and these streaming services seem to have sort of you know huge budgets they seem to be unstoppable and they are aggressively looking at new markets as well they phoned one of course in india they trying to reach new consumers there in that country and there in india we see those pictures of people watching movies. on their phones which is so afraid of. markets with its $1400000000.00 population and countless film fans but there's also this great competition there already dozens of subscription subscription streaming service isn't in your so netflix and amazon are offering more for less money than in the west so it should be very a very golden age for entertainment in india and it's the fastest growing market right now briefly don't like to mention it but i guess the coronavirus isn't helping cinemas right now the virus is making a very hard time for the cinema people are just staying at home watching that

flakes and not going into the cinemas because of the feel of affection. and even the james bond movies they are very disappointed not very yet time to die so no time for james bones lots of problem with trev and generally it must be said micah thanks very much. moving on to an exhibition called beyond the black outline ticket looks at how the movement of people back and forth across the atlantic in particular joining the torment of the slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries has influenced arts and culture down the years in this case how it has shaped the work of the 4 contemporary artists exhibiting in the german city of how . this installation bathed in green months is called not to know kinship and is by artists sundra. i guess. well we're
