Filmin Elevate
Manifesto

Filmin Elevate Manifesto

Filmin Elevate is a Filmin project funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe MEDIA programme.

It has given rise to this manifesto, built together with platforms, creators, distributors, institutions and policymakers from across the European audiovisual sector, and open to any organisation in the sector that wishes to endorse it.

Cultural diversity

Greater visibility and circulation for European films, with special attention to independent and emerging works, and linguistic diversity seen as one of the strengths of the European audiovisual sector.

Services that anyone can use, whatever their abilities, and genuine representation in front of and behind the camera, far from token gestures.

Affordable, accessible ways for new generations to connect with European cinema, from programming designed for them to partnerships with schools and universities.

Tools that help people discover films without replacing editorial curation. Artificial intelligence, always with human oversight and respect for copyright, privacy and artistic integrity.

Reducing the environmental impact of digital distribution through greater energy efficiency, reliable emissions data and renewable energy.

Sharing knowledge and good practice among platforms, creators, distributors, festivals and institutions, because no one can change the European audiovisual sector alone.
