New detail has emerged on the five declarations adopted at the Lumière Summit in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on 7 September 2026, building on the previous report of Emmanuel Macron's opening address and the IRIS independent cinema initiative. The summit, which also announced a $1.16 billion France-Korea fund, saw countries including France and South Korea, alongside bodies such as SACEM, Adami and the Motion Picture Association, sign up to shared frameworks on artificial intelligence, piracy, gender equality, image education and environmental sustainability, all of which remain open for further signature.

The Artificial Intelligence declaration sets six principles covering AI's use in screenwriting, visual effects and dubbing, including bringing AI systems within the 2005 UNESCO cultural diversity convention, requiring fair payment for use of copyrighted training material, and protecting creative employment, likeness and voice rights, with possible follow-up work at UNESCO. A separate piracy declaration commits signatories to a permanent multilateral enforcement body, shared intelligence and cross-border standards, drawing on existing bodies such as ACE, the MPA, EUIPO, WIPO and Interpol, while the gender equality declaration commits to equal pay and opportunity, stronger harassment reporting mechanisms and greater representation, building on conditions France's CNC has attached to public funding since 2021.
