The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of the media and culture sector in uplifting people during difficult times. As hundreds of millions of people were confined to their homes during the pandemic, many turned to music, films, television and other art forms for entertainment, education and cultural enrichment, leading to a surge in streaming and online services. Yet, at the same time, it was extremely difficult to continue cultural production, from live performance to recorded media, under lockdown and confinement measures, with the sector hit hard by unemployment and closed productions.
