Europe’s Right Move: Defending Independent Documentary

description

This session will open with a video message from Emma Rafowicz, Member of the European Parliament and rapporteure for the Agora EU programme, addressed to the international documentary community.

Ensuring, preserving and financing independent documentary production in Europe. 

Independent documentary is far more than a genre: it is an irreplaceable lens on European lives, a space of freedom that no other medium can occupy. Yet the conditions for its creation, circulation and survival remain precarious, fragmented and insufficiently defended. 

What instruments are in place and what instruments are still needed to protect what independent documentary contributes to our democracies, our cultures, and our common Story?
