💡Being based on existing material, AI cannot express human experience in all its spontaneity.

🗣️“There are special moments that I know, as directors, we cherish when we see it happen in front of the camera. We say, ‘wow, that’s the gold I’ve been looking for!’ And that can never be replaced by artificial intelligence.”

FERA member Greek Directors Guild is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, they organized a roundtable on 9 November entitled “A.I. in Art & Cinema” at the 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival which brought together film industry professionals and filmmakers ...

24 creators and rightsholders organisations join forces to call for a meaningful implementation of measures meant to enable them to effectively exercise and enforce their rights when copyright-protected works are used in training AI.

“We are contending with the seriously detrimental situation of generative AI companies taking our content without authorisation on an industrial scale in order to develop their AI models. Their actions result in illegal commercial gains and unfair competitive advantages for their AI models, services, and products, in violation of European copyright laws.

The implementation and application of the EU’s new AI Act provides a crucial opportunity to address such malpractices and ensure accountability in the AI industry.”

📢FERA ANNOUNCEMENT📢

👏We are glad to share that 🇬🇧 director Ken Loach has been elected the new FERA Honorary President.

“In our films we can contribute to collective memory because our history, the history of the people, is written out by those in power. We have the task of bearing witness and making films that bear witness to what is happening. If we can make that contribution, then we contribute to the struggle against the power. […] So we are few, but it’s a big task.”

Netflix has lodged an appeal with the Constitutional Court against Belgium's Wallonia-Brussels Federation's Audiovisual Media Services decree. The platform considers the amounts it will have to pay to support local audiovisual production to be disproportionately high compared to other EU countries.

Netflix a déposé un recours devant la Cour constitutionnelle contre le décret SMA de la FWB. La plateforme juge disproportionnés les montants qu'elle va devoir verser pour le soutien à la production audiovisuelle locale par rapport aux autres pays de l'UE.
