European Commission proposal threatens audiovisual content in Europe

14 September 2016

European Commission proposal threatens audiovisual content in Europe and erodes cultural diversity to the detriment of European audiences

Brussels, September 14, 2016

Today the European Commission has published its proposal for a Regulation laying down rules on the exercise of copyright and related rights applicable to certain online transmissions of broadcasting organisations and retransmissions of television and radio programmes.

Despite unanimous alerts from the film, TV and sports sectors in Europe of the unintended and negative consequences of such an approach, the proposal will erode the cultural diversity underpinning the European film, TV and sports sectors.   The capacity to continue to create, finance, produce and distribute content in Europe under the proposed rules will be severely reduced to the detriment of European audiences who will be deprived of a diverse offer of content and platforms online going forward. This is also evidenced by recent independent economic research.

Earlier this summer, we, the undersigned organisations representing the film, TV and sports sectors in Europe, were part of a wider industry initiative in which 101 organisations and individuals representing creators and businesses in the film, TV and sports sectors throughout Europe and across the world wrote a letter on this topic to President Juncker. The letter urged him not to proceed with a proposal that would erode the territoriality of audiovisual rights and the ability to license on an exclusive territorial basis. The application to online services of the principles enshrined in the Satellite and Cable Directive, especially its Country of Origin Principle, will force the application of a legal regime established for satellite and cable to an entirely different environment, thereby attempting to impose cross border access in ways that will inevitably erode cultural diversity to the detriment of existing financing practices and real consumer taste and demand.

The Commission’s new proposal goes against its political commitment to foster economic growth and jobs in Europe and the obligation to respect cultural diversity in Europe under the Lisbon Treaty. The proposed Regulation does not ‘respect the value of rights in the audiovisual sector’ as territoriality without full exclusivity has no meaning: offering less than full exclusivity will generate less income with a negative impact both on raising financing and on recoupment.

We will work with the European Parliament and the European Council to preserve the integrity of territorial exclusivity in the audiovisual sector and maintain the indispensable market incentives for the film, TV and sports industries to finance, produce and distribute audiovisual content in Europe for the benefit of all audiences. We will work to preserve Europe’s cultural and linguistic diversity as a strategic asset underpinning our European identities and citizens’ trust in the EU.

ACCIÓN (Spanish Association of Film Directors / Asociación de directores y directoras de cine), Spain

My purpose for aiming to be a member of the Executive Comittee is to tighten the relations between Spanish and European directors. Our association of directors is been in the last years quite present in the developing of the laws and legal canvas of the film industry in Spain, in my opinion is time that the voice of the Spanish directors is also heard in Europe. Is been in the last years that in our country us the directors had begun to feel the belonging to a community, that is not just composed by few more known names but also a huge amount of talented directors that share a common element, the passion for telling stories.

Ida Grøn

ExCo Member

The Association of Danish Film Directors, Denmark

I’m a European who was broad up on a cross road of farmers, academics and artists from different cultures and moving quite a bit. So I became an independent documentary film director educated at the NFTS in the UK. I’ve exhibited the VR-real life video installation Keep in Touch (2008) at the National Gallery of Denmark and travelled the world with my professional debut “The Kid and the Clown” (2011). Since then I’ve made a lot of national TV, lately the tv-success “William – The Impossible Choice” (2022). My creative feature “Staybehind – My Grandfathers Secret War” (2017) created a lot of attention on Stay Behind intelligence in the broad Danish public. At the moment I’m in the development of two creative feature documentaries supported by the Danish Film Institute and an art film. Since 2019 I’ve been on the board of the association of Danish Film Directors where my focus is to expose and bring down the amount of unpaid work of film directors, and the continued existence and development of film as art form. Recently I initiated a collaboration with International Media Support to help Ukrainian filmmakers making/finishing their films in their current situation through an exchange with Danish filmmakers and production houses

Isabel Coixet

Isabel Coixet started making films when they gave her an 8mm camera as a gift for her first communion. After a BA degree in History by the University of Barcelona, she worked in advertising and spot writing. She won several accolades for her spots and finally founded her own production company in 2000, Miss Wasabi Films.

In 1988, Coixet made her debut as a screenwriter and helmer in “Demasiado viejo para morir joven”, which earned her the nomination for Best New Director in the Goya Awards.

International success came in 2003 with the intimate drama “My life without me”, a film based on a short story by Nancy Kincaid where Sarah Polley plays Ann, a young mother who decides to hide to her family that she has a terminal cancer. This Spanish-Canadian coproduction was highly praised at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Coixet has also made outstanding documentaries such as “Invisibles”, a selection of Panorama for the 2007 Berlin Film Festival, on Médicos sin fronteras or “Journey to the Heart of Torture”, filmed in Sarajevo during the Balkan War and awarded in October 2003 in the Human Rights Film Festival.

Isabel also directs Spain in a day, a collective film that shows how was a day in the life of our country, specifically on October 24, 2015, through images recorded by anonymous people through their tablets, phones or cameras. Based on Ridley Scott’s idea, “Life in a Day”, and with music by Alberto Iglesias, it premiered at the 2016 San Sebastian International Film Festival.

From Miss Wasabi Films, Coixet decides to support the production of projects by new women directors to favor the visibility of works directed by women in the world of cinema. A documentary and a short film have been produced within this initiative, as well as a fiction feature film and another short film in development.

Her first series, “Foodie Love”, explores the most essential of human relationships through the encounters of a couple and the delicacy and diversity of the food. It premiered on HBO in December 2019.

“Nieva en Benidorm” is her latest feature film. Produced by El Deseo and filmed in Benidorm during the first months of 2020, the film stars Timothy Spall, Sarita Choudhury, Carmen Machi, Anna Torrent and Pedro Casablanc. It is currently in the post-production phase.
