Yannick Bolloré: Vivendi posted strong results in 2018. Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading recorded music company, had an excellent year, led by the quality of its management teams and artists and the rise of streaming services. Income from recorded music through subscriptions and streaming rose by 36% in 2018 to represent 54% of total sales. UMG’s roster of talent features some of the most popular and award-winning artists in the world. As well as improving its performance in France, Canal+ Group gained nearly 0.9 million subscribers in other countries. In addition to Africa, it made inroads in the Asian market, with the launch of a pay-TV offer in Myanmar. In France, the group renewed its agreement with the French film indus- try (Canal+ is the industry’s partner of choice) and signed new regulations reducing the window between the time when a movie is released in theaters and when it can be aired on its channels. It also secured the broadcasting rights to numerous sports events, including the next three seasons of the English Premier League. Havas enjoyed stronger profitability in 2018, particu- larly in the second half, due to account wins in crea- tive advertising and media. The Palau Pledge campaign is a shining example of Havas’s creativity and commit- ment. As well as winning a whole host of festival awards, the company also received the “Champion for Humanity” award from the United Nations. Our other businesses – Gameloft, Vivendi Village and Dailymotion – also delivered solid performances, each contributing to the value chain of the integrated group that Vivendi is today. The group pressed ahead with new joint initiatives between its subsidiaries in YANNICK BOLLORÉ Chairman of the Supervisory Board 2018, with Havas and Capitol Music Group founding Annex Tower Creative, an agency whose aim is to foster greater collaboration between artists and brands, and Canal+ and Universal Music France “Our strategy is aimed at joining forces to give television viewers the chance to tune in to one of the most exciting Top 14 finals. Olympia Production was able to capitalize launching joint initiatives on Canal+ and L’Olympia’s expertise and assets, while the CanalOlympia venues in Africa benefited from the establishment of Canal+ Group on between our different the continent and from Studiocanal films. And these are just a few businesses. These synergies examples of the successful strategy that drives our integrated group. Why did Vivendi acquire Editis? developed by our subsidiaries Arnaud de Puyfontaine: The acquisition of Editis marked an important milestone in the implementation of Vivendi’s business plan. It adds will help promote growth another brick to our development of a world-class content, media and communications group based in Europe. Editis has a large portfolio of for Vivendi.” internationally acclaimed authors, including Marc Lévy, Michel Bussi, 02 –— VIVENDI –— ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –— WorldReginfo - 698e6242-3676-4369-b552-fbdbc8a91ae5 –— VIVENDI –— ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –— 03 Raphaëlle Giordano, Haruki Murakami and Ken Follett. The group brings together close to 50 prestigious houses (e.g., Nathan, Robert Laffont, Julliard, Plon, Le Robert, Presses de la Cité, Pocket and Solar) that publish general interest, children’s and young adult literature, how-to books, illustrated titles, textbooks and reference works. While Editis will allow Vivendi to expand its creative capacity, Vivendi will enable Editis to broaden its appeal to authors, explore new markets and experiment with innovative formats. The combination of our two groups creates opportunities for developing joint projects. We have already started working together and we will strengthen our efforts in this direction. What future do you see for Universal Music Group? Arnaud de Puyfontaine: The music market is under- going total transformation. Today, there are more than 175 million music streaming subscribers worldwide. This dynamic, along with the talent and expertise of UMG’s artists and teams, is driving the expansion of the world’s top recorded music com- pany. Sir Lucian Grainge called 2018 a “historic year”. We have initiated a process to open up UMG’s share capital to one or several partners to leverage the value of this unique asset and support its development. What are your ambitions for the group? Yannick Bolloré: Vivendi’s ambitions, which were outlined five years ago, are clear. They are focused on building a global content, media and communications group with European roots. Demand for entertainment content is strong on every continent in the world. Innovation and digital technology are opening up new markets. Our strategy is aimed ARNAUD DE PUYFONTAINE at launching joint initiatives between our different businesses. These Chief Executive Officer synergies developed by our subsidiaries will help promote growth for Vivendi, as I mentioned at the beginning of this interview. In 2018, we said we were ready to enter a new phase of growth. This has “Editis adds another now been accomplished with the acquisition of Editis and our return to publishing. A new era has begun for Vivendi. brick to our development Our goal is to provide overall support for the creation of new value in all our businesses, wherever we are, and to offer quality content to as many of a world-class content, people as possible. Through the impact of its content, our group plays a prominent role in society.

That is a real strength. • 02 –— VIVENDI –— ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –— –— VIVENDI –— ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –— 03 WorldReginfo - 698e6242-3676-4369-b552-fbdbc8a91ae5 UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP WorldReginfo - 698e6242-3676-4369-b552-fbdbc8a91ae5 –— VIVENDI –— ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –— 05 Profile of the Group, Strategy and Value Creation, Businesses – Financial Communication – Tax Policy and Regulatory Environment, Non-financial Performance PROFILE OF THE GROUP 06 1.1.

  • Etiek En Toeskouerskap Deur Die Lens Van Michael Haneke Se Amour
    LitNet Akademies Jaargang 15, Nommer 2, 2018, ISSN 1995-5928 Verantwoordelike rolprentvervaardiging: etiek en toeskouerskap deur die lens van Michael Haneke se Amour Dian Weys Dian Weys, onafhanklike navorser Opsomming Aangesien ons moderne samelewing deur die media oorweldig word, stel Michael Haneke voor dat filmmakers ‘n verantwoordelikheid het om gehore aan te moedig om aan ‘n film se betekenisskeppingproses deel te neem, veral wanneer dit kom by die uitbeelding van geweld. Wat behels hierdie verantwoordelikheid? Stanley Cavell verduidelik dat, omdat toeskouers tydens die filmkykproses onsigbaar is, film ‘n beroep op ons moderne begeerte doen, nie vir mag oor die wêreld nie, maar eerder die wens om nie mag nodig te hê nie en om nie die laste van ‘n ander te dra nie. Dit is ‘n probleem, glo ek, veral wanneer iemand anders se werklike swaarkry en lyding as bronmateriaal gebruik word, omdat filmmakers dié werklike ervaring wederregtelik in besit neem vir vermaaklikheidsonthalwe. Indien die filmkykproses ons kwytskeld daarvan om die laste van die wêreld te dra en dus verligting bied van die opneem van verantwoordelikheid, argumenteer ek dat ons nie mag wens om nie die laste van iemand anders te dra nie. Ons is, soos Emmanuel Levinas argumenteer, verantwoordelik vir mekaar. Hoe poog Haneke om, tegnies gewys, sy gehore bewus te maak van hierdie verantwoordelikheid? Judith Butler sê dat ‘n begrip van verantwoordelikheid net bereik kan word wanneer ‘n ek-heid die perke van selfkennis erken. Daarom, indien ons, soos Butler sê, net bewus kan raak van die ondeursigtigheid eie aan ons menswees wanneer ons gekonfronteer word met die ondeursigtigheid van ‘n ander, argumenteer ek dat Haneke, deur sy fragmentariese aanslag ten opsigte van die beeld, redigering en klank, sy gehoor in verwantskap plaas met ‘n film wat hul met die perke van hul selfkennis konfronteer.
