Dani Rovira, in a still from ‘Eight Basque surnames’.
In a year in which the film industry does not seem out of the hole, Movies Spanish sweep at the box office. This contradiction has been highlighted by film producers in its annual appearance at the Festival of San Sebastián. In a time when media movie budgets down by forced marches-in 2009 an average film cost about 3.2 million euros, which has dropped to 1.3 million in 2014, when money TVE devoted to the purchase of broadcasting rights has fallen nearly 40% over four or five years ago (now only intended for those purchases 19 million euros), VAT 21% devastates businesses and tax exemptions are far from agreed percentage between the industry and the government (30% desired stays for now 18%), the Spanish film lives the best year in its history with a market share that until last Monday, reached 23.6% (in 2013 it was 19.2%).
“The popular film has found its audience. We have removed the label españolada because the fact that it is popular and does not conflict with commercial quality “, said the president of the FAPAE Ramon Colom. They have examples like Eight Basque surnames, the film has raised hopes in the search industry with some spectators who had turned their backs for years. A film directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro, excellent box office is getting The boy, Daniel Monzón is added, and is waiting for the latest brand new titles before the end of 2014 as fifth installment of Torrente, of Santiago Segura; Mort and Phil, directed by Javier Fesser; The minimum island Alberto Rodriguez, or [REC] 4, Jaume Balagueró. With this information, farmers rely on off 2014 at a market share of 25%, although the Ministry of Culture estimates that this figure could reach almost to 30%
Colom complained much of the failure of the Government of its own legislative rules: “The laws are to be fulfilled. Each. We should have taken the aid of 2012 aimed at films with which the producers began to make expenditures in 2010 Delays have to refinance the debts multiply. Yesterday the decree was published announces aid. The problem is that the 38/39 million had to be paid, the Government planned to zero. After great effort, have appeared 33.5 million. We left six, we have the assurance that appear. That’s a problem: I doubt that a bank will lend us money if one of the pillars is removed. We now live a honeymoon with the Ministry of Culture, but we have solved the whole problem. We are tired of claiming all year money we are owed. Our job is to move forward, propping up the new system, not stay all pending last while, and that funding comes first in advance, because it is clear that the Ministry of Finance have trouble paying debts three years ago, “said FAPAE president. “Next week starts the negotiation to see how we combine the two systems, the old and the new,” said, noting that in this transition, and to aid 2012, 2013 and 2014, it takes “100 million” which for it is not many, and include those 33.5 million.
Was TVE policy which has attracted the most criticism from producers. Colom called “indecent and immoral” the situation that has led the government of Mariano Rajoy to public television. “We must immediately rectify this policy because they can not have ruined a few companies that are the heritage of all citizens” demanded the president FAPAE (Federation of Audiovisual Producers Spain) confederation. Colom compared this ruinous situation of TVE with private channels, which are behind the most successful titles in our country. “It is quite right that a commercial film focused monetize done, as do private channels, but you can not leave this type of film over copyright, new directors and more risky, which is the agency that must support a public as TVE “warned joxe Portela, vice president of FAPAE. In this sense, they confessed their concern about the merger Teledeporte channel and the 2, and that this decision space for cultural programming will be drastically reduced. “The cultural programs were already burdened from the villainy of the Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega allowing sponsorships in sports broadcasting and banned for cultural spaces,” Colom said
On the proposal of a Congress Theater to celebrate next year and whose manifesto was read in San Sebastian on Saturday, the directors of the FAPAE showed a clear skepticism. They would torpedo directly but the fact is that it was a kind of cold water. “I would support if we knew what to expect the manifest. It’s a bit absurd to hold a congress when the organizations that work in the Spanish film industry did not normally speak, where there is an ongoing relationship. We propose a platform where all the sectors that we are already in the system, “he pointed Colom.
