Culture and Creative Industries (CCI) and Sectors Ecosystem
Definition:
The Culture and Creative Industries (CCI) and Sectors Ecosystem encompasses various fields and activities that combine cultural, artistic, or creative expression with economic value creation. This ecosystem includes industries such as film, music, arts, design, publishing, video games, and cultural heritage. It extends to the entire value chain from creation, production, and distribution to consumption and preservation. The ecosystem is characterized by its reliance on individual creativity, skill, and talent, and it often contributes to cultural diversity, social development, and economic growth.
Example:
An example of the CCI ecosystem is the film industry, where the process starts from scriptwriting (creation), involves actors, directors, and production crews (production), includes film distribution companies (distribution), and ultimately reaches the audience through cinemas or streaming platforms (consumption). The preservation aspect can be seen in film archives and restoration efforts.
