359Films and audiovisual works do not just fuel economic growth and global talent circulation, they reflect who we are as societies and envision who we could become. More than enriching our cultural lives, they are essential to a healthy democracy: they support freedom of expression and give voice to the diverse stories and perspectives of humanity.</font></p> 360 361<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">Today, the support for independent film and audiovisual storytelling is under growing threat. </font></p> 362 363<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">We are witnessing increasingly aggressive attempts by powerful political and corporate actors to dismantle the regulatory protections that ensure the diversity and accessibility of cultural expression. </font></p> 364 365<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">This includes direct challenges to essential protections such as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the European Union, proposed local content obligations in Australia, screen quotas in Asia, and requirements that streaming services contribute to domestic production in Canada, among others. </font></p> 366 367<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">These actions take place alongside wider attacks on pluralism and freedom of expression. If they succeed, it will become increasingly difficult for diverse voices to be heard, for the whole eco-system to create, produce, distribute, promote and exhibit films and audiovisual works successfully, and for local cultures to thrive.</font></p> 368 369<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">We therefore firmly oppose any political, legal, or economic initiative that seeks to undermine national or international rules designed to uphold artistic freedom and cultural diversity in the film and audiovisual sector. </font></p> 370 371<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">This includes the right of countries to create and maintain their own cultural policies and regulatory systems, which recognise the importance to own, control, and monetize our works' intellectual property. Such measures form the foundation of a healthy audiovisual ecosystem, allowing the economic value generated by creative works to benefit domestic creators, reinforcing the cultural sovereignty of local film and audiovisuals sectors around the world, and supporting the international circulation of diverse, independent film and audiovisual works. </font></p> 372 373<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">We also strongly reaffirm the importance of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which marks its 20th anniversary this year. We urge our governments to reinforce its implementation, especially in the face of emerging challenges such as artificial intelligence, algorithm-driven platforms, and the growing dominance of global entertainment conglomerates.</font></p> 374 375<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">We call on all governments to stand firm and safeguard the systems that support independent film and audiovisual creation so that culture, creativity, and democratic access to diverse stories for the screen can continue to flourish."</font></p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can also show your support by signing the petition.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br></span><a href="https://chng.it/gSSSvnSDTS" data-test-app-aware-link=""><font color="#0A66C2">https://chng.it/gSSSvnSDTS</font></a></font><br> 376 377<div style="margin-left: 2em"> 378 <font color="#0A66C2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br></span></font> 379</div><a href="https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000LXboaMAD/stand-with-australian-directors-guild" target="_blank" style="font-family: Verdana;"><img src="/resources/Pictures/Untitled-3.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="519" height="519"></a><br> 380 381<p><span><br></span></p> 382 383<p><span>The Australian Directors’ Guild represents, advocates for and celebrates Australian screen directors—and we need your help.</span></p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana;">We’re calling on our members and screen community to help us raise awareness and drive support as we launch <a href="https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000LXboaMAD/stand-with-australian-directors-guild" target="_blank">our Australian Cultural Fund campaign</a>.</strong><span> </span><br> 384<span>We know the reality.
