70 years ago, the European cultural convention was a deliberate political act, recognising the vital importance of culture for democracy and for European unity based on democratic values. With democracy under threat, this is even more relevant today. #NoCultureNoDemocracy

La libération de #Strasbourg il y a 80 ans symbolisait le retour à la liberté après des années de guerre et de dictature nazie. Aujourd’hui face au retour de la guerre en Europe et au recul démocratique, souvenons-nous. Le Conseil de l’Europe défend la sécurité démocratique.

5 May 1949 marked the birth of the Council of Europe — and with it, the vision of a new Europe. Not just markets and trade, but peace, dignity and democracy. As we face war and democratic backsliding, Europe must lead again — not with fear, but with courage, values and unity.

Culture is why we work & what we strive for. It can’t be forced—only built by talking, disagreeing, imagining better futures. Want to know how democracy’s doing? Look at the films we make.  Council of Europe saw this early, backing Eurimages & European Audiovisual Observatory.  Proud to see it at #Cannes2025

The Eurimages Fund of the Council of Europe is celebrating a landmark year at the Cannes Film Festival, with 9 awards presented to films that received its co-production support. 🍿 Check out the prize-winning titles ⬇️ coe.int/en/web/portal/… Congratulations! 🎉
