Adding its voice to the accumulating punditry summarizing the year that is about to end, the American Film Institute declared on Wednesday that the current writers strike tops the seven "moments of significance" that have had an impact on the moving image in the past year.

Describing the strike as "part of a larger paradigm shift," the AFI said the labor battle is part of "the ongoing digital revolution (that) has upended conventional economic models, and uncertainty abounds when attempting to project how an audience will receive its storytelling in the years to come and how creators will be paid for their work."
