The strike of Hollywood actors and screenwriters divides French cinema: "concern" on the cinema operator side, when filmmakers' organizations expressed Thursday their "solidarity" in the face of platforms and artificial intelligence. First strike of this magnitude for more than 60 years, the movement in the United States "worries" in France, recognized Thursday Richard Patry, the boss of the National Federation of Cinemas (FNCF). "The strike worries us a lot of course," said Richard Patry on BFM Business, explaining its scale by the fact that it is a strike "oriented against the platforms" (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV ...) which "is likely to last quite a long time".
This strike, which began on Friday, paralyzes American studios and if "it only concerns American films for the moment, many films have already started to be delayed and that worries us a lot about the year 2024", he added, believing that this social movement in cinema could also reach France. "There is always a risk, in particular at the level of the authors, (...) but for the moment there is no action announced in France", he specified. Asked about the claims of actors and screenwriters also concerning artificial intelligence, which is increasingly accused by the world of culture of plundering creative content, Mr. Patry said that we had to be “very, very vigilant”. He says he does not “believe today that we can make a great screenplay by AI” and that “it will always take the talent of the screenwriter to make great films”.
Another tone from the side of the filmmakers, including two organizations, the Society of Film Directors (SRF) and the civil society of authors, directors and producers (ARP) expressed their "full solidarity" with the strikers, whose fight "crosses borders". The success of the platforms must not lead "to a weakening of the creators", and "it is also necessary to supervise artificial intelligence", which "can only present opportunities for our sector on condition of preserving the central place of authors and artists", they write in a joint press release.
