The film industry is preparing to hold its own version of the Davos Forum. The Lumière Summit, opening for the first time this year, will discuss the future of film and video content.

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung is scheduled to attend the international meeting on Sept. 7. French President Emmanuel Macron will also take part, according to the report.

The summit is not limited to film-industry figures. Government officials, companies and content creators from different countries are expected to gather alongside other major participants from across the wider content ecosystem.

That broad attendance is why the meeting is being called the “Davos Forum of film,” positioning it as a place to discuss the direction and future of the global film and video sector.
