The 2021 General Assembly Statutory Meeting will take place online next Wednesday December 1st, while the annual conference public panels will be streamed online, hosted by LICHTER FilmFest International Frankfurt, gathering filmmakers and key industry representatives to discuss perspectives for the future of European film, and whether a “new deal” is possible for audiovisual authors’ rights in Europe in light of recent industry evolutions:
