A New Europe Must Emerge: Rethinking Power, People, and Pipelines  

In her 2025 State of the Union Address, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that “a new Europe must emerge” — but what does this mean for European cinema amid disruption from streaming, technological change, budget cuts, and shifting routes to market?

ARTEF’s 2025 report A New Europe Must Emerge distils insights from four think tanks across the film value chain, bringing together professionals, creatives, scholars, and policymakers to examine how development, funding, marketing, and circulation can become more equitable. The report offers a timely assessment of the challenges and opportunities facing European cinema today.
