Winners announcement! We're happy to announce the winners of the open call for the "Film Music Business Career Mentoring course", provided by George Christopoulos, founder and CEO of OTICONS Ltd. Film Music Composers Agency. After a careful selection process, George decided to select CÉLYNE BAUDINO and Thibault Torzuoli Music Composer. George states: "Mentoring film composers is a true passion of mine, and I take great care in listening to each applicant's music during the selection process. It’s always a challenging task, and I continually hope to be inspired by the remarkable talent out there. I am pleased to say that once again I was not disappointed! Célyne's music captivated me with its originality and consistent voice; and there's not much more to comment about her music except that it blew me away. At the same time Thibault's exquisite music showcased a rare skill set of a film composer: he is not seeking to impress but rather to enchant filmmakers with the elegance and emotional depth of his compositions. Both Célyne and Thibault emerged as ideal candidates, perfectly positioned in their careers to benefit from valuable insights and propel their journeys forward. Now more than ever, our industry needs more voices like theirs!" During the sessions, which are set to take place later this month, George will help the two towards a successful career path by offering career advice and industry insights. Congratulations to both composers! This project is organised with the support of Creative Europe.

📣 A message to all newly elected MEPs from 13 international and European organisations representing creators, authors’, artists, performers’ and creative workers, including ECSA. 👏 We congratulate all the newly elected Members of the European Parliament. In the next years, they will have to make key decisions on crucial EU policies related to generative Artificial Intelligence in the cultural and creative sectors. AI represents an extraordinary technological advancement with immense potential to enhance various aspects of our lives, including in our sectors. However, #genAI models in existence today have been trained in secrecy on our members works and personal data, without consent nor remuneration from the creators and artists we represent. In sharp contrast to current practices, we firmly believe that authors and performers must be able to decide whether their works should be used by generative AI and, if they do so, be fairly remunerated. ❗We urge all MEPs to place #consent, #transparency and #remuneration at the heart of all their initiatives related to the use of AI in the cultural and creative sectors: We ask MEPs to: 👉 Question the flaws and misinterpretation of the current EU Copyright framework (TDM exception) in relation to generative AI. 👉 Ensure the AI Act is implemented in an effective way to preserve fundamental rights, promote the highest level of transparency, and enable authors and performers to exercise their rights. 🤝 As a new EU policy cycle is about to start, we call for determined action by MEPs to engage in a comprehensive and democratic debate leading to a clear legal framework preserving the rights of creators and the integrity of their works. ➡️ Full letter: bit.ly/4cTxo4G Signatories: CEATL, ECSA, European Federation of Journalists, EGAIR - European Guild for Artificial Intelligence Regulation, European Writers' Council (EWC), FERA - Federation of European Screen Directors, FIA (International Federation of Actors), International Federation of Musicians, FSE Federation of Screenwriters in Europe, International Artist Organisation - IAO, International Federation of Journalists, UNI Global Union, UVA - United Voice Artists.
