🎬Creativity in Europe in the age of algorithms.

On Oct 30–31, during the 8th Euro Balkan Film Festival , FERA ambassador Maurizio Sciarra led a series of workshops diving into how European creativity can thrive in the digital era.

The FERA delegation - Bill Anderson, Chiara Sambuchi, Elisabeth Sjaastad, Klemen Dvornik, and ambassador Hrvoje Hribar - joined filmmakers, CMOs, producers & academics to ask:

🎥 Are European authors still the artistic heart of creation, or are we becoming executors of algorithms designed elsewhere?

⚖️ Where are European rules heading as the audiovisual sector is shifting from the sphere of cultural policy to that of the digital market?

💡 And how can we ensure fair pay and recognition for authors in this new landscape?

Voices from across Europe and the Balkans came together to defend what matters most: authors' rights, cultural diversity, and creative freedom.
