The Motion Picture Association (MPA) signs two declarations at the Lumière Summit in support of future cooperation on cinema and on combating film and audiovisual piracy. The MPA adds its name to the Lumière Declaration on the Future of Cinema and the Moving Image and to a separate declaration focused on strengthened international cooperation in the fight against piracy.

Both outlets describe the declarations as aimed at encouraging international collaboration across governments and the private sector, including work to protect intellectual property. Deadline also highlights that the MPA’s participation is linked to deepening cooperation and investment in the audiovisual sector and supporting the creative economy.

In addition to the declaration signings, the MPA attends roundtable discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. Across the two reports, the overall focus remains consistent on international policy coordination around cinema’s future and on anti-piracy cooperation, with the details of emphasis varying by outlet.
