Presented by Eurimages and the Pilot Programme for Series Co-Productions
As democracy faces erosion and trust declines, cultural expression proves essential to civic resilience. Series and cinematographic works reveal how narratives defend pluralism and engage citizens, especially young audiences.
The panel highlights the role of audiovisual storytelling in renewing democratic practices and civic participation. In a dialogue with creators, producers, filmmakers and policy experts, the panel places culture at the heart of our shared new democratic future.
