France & Korea Pledge $1.16B For Global Screen Industries At South Of France Cinema Summit

Comments

1. Weberivy: not exactly what i was hoping for from a summit focused on the future of global cinema. where's the creative industry support and funding for actual independent films? feels like just big studios
2. Fractal Kite: how does that work financially? are we talking 1b euros direct investment or more like soft loans? 👎
3. Rogue Phantom: seems like a lot of emphasis on preserving an industry that's still pretty beholden to spectacle over substance
4. Eliasc: yeah because pouring billions into the film industry is exactly what these economies need right now
5. Iron Vesper: why do they need 10 years to commit to something, feels like a long wait for a huge investment
6. Ember Lynx: one billion euros is still peanuts compared to the influence these industries actually have on our societies
7. Junepetrov: it's funny seeing countries investing big into film when the global industry is still figuring out how to reduce its carbon footprint. What specific initiatives do they plan on implementing for sustai
8. Leor: great to see countries investing in the screen industries, but still waiting for meaningful investment in sustainable film production practices. this is just a drop in the bucket
9. Sharmaamir: nothing earth-shattering here, but i'm surprised they're not talking about a EU-KRFTA instead of just throwing cash at the industry
10. Bruno: this seems like a PR stunt to boost Macron's legacy, let's see the actual investments and follow-through, not just vague promises
