Dear all,
I'm very happy to invite you to a talk by Pauline Durand-Vialle (Federation of European Screen Directors), titled "Filmmakers’ Artistic Freedom vs Sea-changes in the Audiovisual Sector: Is There Hope for a Sustainable Future of Independent Audiovisual Creation in Europe?". It will take place on 12 April at 5 pm British Summer Time via Zoom. For more information, please see below:
In the wake of COVID-19, the rise of global streamers in European markets has accelerated exponentially while local production and distribution infrastructures are severely hit. In a sector which considers authorship and public funding as cornerstones of its uniquely diverse production and distribution ecosystem, these not-so-new players are challenging every segment of the value chain – including filmmakers, their creative process and their rights. As they prepare to return to work after the crisis, we’re exploring various scenarios and visions for their creative and artistic future.
Originally from Paris, France, Pauline has worked in film distribution and international sales. She joined the Federation of European Screen Directors (FERA) from her previous position as Deputy Manager in charge of European Affairs at La Société des réalisateurs de films (SRF), where she worked for five years. She is the Chief Executive of FERA since February 2014, and recently took over the European Audiovisual Observatory’s Advisory Committee Chair.
