What is the Nostradmus Report?
Annually commissioned by the Göteborg Film Festival since 2013, the Nostradamus Report analyses and forecasts the near future of the faster-than-ever evolving audiovisual industries through research, and interviews with industry experts.
The 2025 report reflects an industry shifting from resisting reality towards building resilient resistance, calling for a renewed commitment to the audience and a principled defence of creative freedom at the core of its message. It discusses increasing opportunities for non-US content in the commercial mainstream and suggests new ways of thinking about both development processes and how films and TV series are communicated to their audiences.
'Our interviewees are realistic, but hopeful and resilient – and like most people in the industry, quite adaptable. Of course it can feel tempting to avert our eyes from wars, democratic backsliding, economic uncertainty and continuing industry challenges. But to offer resistance against the outcomes we can’t be resisting reality. The report is not a call to despair, but a call to engage. The report presents practical strategies for how to move forward as a sector and how to prepare within our organisations for changes and possible threats. It also celebrates this artistic moment, when wonderful work is flourishing both in cinemas and on living room screens. At the heart of it all is the question of how we continue to tell stories that matter and who we are telling them for.' Johanna Koljonen, media analystNostradamus Report 2025
