Many thanks @dabbatescianni for covering our Manifesto and highlighting key elements of it @Cineuropa

"According to FIAD, film distributors are first and foremost “investors,” “risk takers,” “film curators” and “film promoters.”"

@FNEF_cinema Merci pour votre soutien. Ce fut un plaisir de créer le manifeste avec vous et tous les membres de la FIAD. Ce fut une bonne collaboration.

[Fédération Nationale des Editeurs de Films @FNEF_cinema]

Connecter les films aux publics : c’est très bien résumer le rôle des éditeurs-distributeurs de films, qui jouent aussi un rôle-clé dans le financement des œuvres . Bravo a notre Fédération européenne, la FIAD, pour ce Manifesto très clair !👇

ADVOCATE FOR DATA TRANSPARENCY
Film distributors need to understand how their films perform from theatrical to video-on-demand. Moreover, it is also necessary for General Purpose AI Models to comply with European copyright provisions
