Polish Filmmakers Association Takes Legal Action Against Government Over Missed EU Directive on Internet Royalties

WARSAW: In a significant move, the Polish Filmmakers Association (SFP) has reported a suspected crime related to Mateusz Morawiecki’s government’s failure to adopt the EU directive on internet royalties.

The notification, submitted on 1 February 2024, includes concerns about Morawiecki’s meeting with Netflix’s head, raising questions about the subsequent abandonment of provisions crucial for creators. The SFP urges the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate this matter.

Directors to Know for Black History Month – IndieWire

While innovations in technology have made it easier than ever to make a movie, it has become harder than ever to receive significant financial backing. Doubly hard when one is a director of an underrepresented background.

Black Americans have been a part of the film industry since the beginning, over a century ago, but one could argue that there were not any Black film directors given enough of a platform to become a household name until the 1990s. Though a diverse set of directors were able to breakthrough from that time through the aughts, the shift

Reynolds is doing this in the 1972 film Fuzz, one of more
