CISAC @ WIPO 2014
In 2014, CISAC organised two high-profile events on the occasion of WIPO’s 54th General Assembly. Musicians, film directors, screenwriters and visual artists spoke out in favour of the rights of creators at the highest level.
On the first day, CISAC President Jean-Michel Jarre gave two keynote speeches at the opening ceremony of WIPO’s new conference hall in Geneva. Around 1,200 WIPO delegates attended the ceremony, amongst which were a high number of ministers, ambassadors, diplomats, heads of IP offices and many other government officials.
On the following day, CISAC organised a unique lobbying event aimed at bringing the voice of world renowned creators to the global debate on copyright. Titled “A Sustainable Future for Authors”, the creators panel discussion included Jean-Michel Jarre, Hervé di Rosa (Visual Artist, France), Angèle Diabang (Film Director, Senegal), Daphna Levin (TV Screenwriter and Director, Israel), Vinod Ranganath (Playwright, Screenwriter and Director, India) and Eddie Schwartz (Songwriter, Canada).
