asterisk* joins the conversation on the future of European cinema and democracy at Les Arcs Industry Village!
asterisk*’s founder joined the panel “Promoting European Cinema and Democracy in the Future MEDIA Programme”, moderated by Julie-Jeanne Régnault (EPC).
The discussion focused on how upcoming EU-level initiatives — including AgoraEU — may reshape the future of the MEDIA programme, and what this means for European cinema as a space for artistic freedom, independence and democratic values.
Alongside a conversation with MEP , the panel brought together industry perspectives from (New Europe Film Sales) and Jakob Kijas (Eksystent Distrubution), reflecting on why MEDIA remains a success story for cultural diversity, and why it matters more than ever.
Always glad to be part of conversations that shape what’s next.
