Goals / Remit
Set up in 1952, the International federation of Actors (FIA) represents performers' trade unions, guilds and professional associations around the world. With a membership of approximately 100 affiliates in 73 countries, it mainly voices the professional interests of audiovisual performers, including actors, singers, dancers, variety artists, broadcast professionals and circus artists.
FIA works globally and regionally on any subject matter that may impact on the terms and conditions of the professionals it represents. Its world Congress meets once every four years and its Executive Committee on a yearly basis. FIA also includes several regional and linguistic groups, whose members meet regularly to discuss issues of common interest and also to enlighten the global policy of the federation.
The objects of the Federation are the protection and promotion, on a strictly professional basis, of the artistic, economic, social and legal interests of actors, singers, dancers, variety and circus artists, choreographers, directors, broadcast professionals, etc., organised in national affiliated unions.
FIA’s main objectives and goals are:
a. Promoting the trade union representation of performers;
b. Promoting the intellectual property rights of performers;
c. Promoting agreements between affiliated members, e.g. re: the mobility of performers; the transfer of membership from one union to the other; the protection of the professional interests of performers as they work or seek employment abroad;
d. Safeguarding and campaigning for the development of live performance;
e. Promoting the professional employment of performers working in all media as well as in live performance;
f. Compiling surveys of value to its members;
g. Providing expertise and advice – including legal - on national matters when requested by its members;
h. Advocacing and lobbying to enhance the moral, intellectual property, contractual and social rights of performers at international level and, where relevant, at national level;
i. Conveying and coordinating international solidarity to member unions involved in industrial disputes;
j. Collaborating with the ILO, UNESCO, WIPO, the Council of Europe, all main institutions of the European Union and with other international organisations on all matters of relevance to its members;
k. Organising international congresses, regular conferences and meetings for its members to exchange information and experience;
l. Negotiating agreements with other international organisations on behalf of its members;
m. Supporting its members in their efforts to maintain the principles established by the Federation, where assistance is required beyond their individual capacity.Main EU files targeted
