The Spanish film makes the best box office history – Cadena Ser

2014 year being contradictory to our cinema. On one hand, if the trend does not change, the audience share of Spanish cinema will reach a record high, up 25 percent. A similar percentage that you attain the most powerful European film. A couple of years ago, the audience share did not exceed 20 percent coveted, and that 2012 was the year of The Impossible – and 2013 will go down in history as the worst year for Spanish movies, with an audience share of 13 percent. On the other, this is one of the most disastrous for the audiovisual industry in our country years.

The good figures from this year exemplify that lasas Spanish films “are in a great moment,” said Ramon Colom Esmatges President FAPAE . The success of films like The child or the phenomenon that was Eight Basque surnames have helped achieve that figure.

The problems of Spanish cinema are not limited to: industrial and financial. And in both is about government inaction People’s Party, as explained Colom. The problem is the same every year. The government should aid the amortization of films made in 2012. debt amounting to 39 million euros. “It is a debt of the State and as such, the government has to respect it,” stressed the President of the producers, who compared the popular executive engagement with other sectors, such as banking.

Ramon Colom has said that the Minister of Culture, José Ignacio Wert , producers who spoke last Saturday at the Film Festival San Sebastian , has shown its commitment to become current outstanding payments. “We are committed to the Administration to continue searching for the missing money, but we have ensured that I find,” he stated.

The debt on the issue of aid is not the only problem. Producers take over a year asking the government, both the Ministry of Culture and the Treasury directed Cristobal Montoro, a change in the funding model and increased tax incentives. None of that has moved an inch. “We want to be less dependent on the state,” he explained, “the work of producers can not be be fighting for the enforcement of a law,” said the producer.

Criticism RTVE

The biggest criticism has led this time public television. “It is indecent and immoral situation where public television are of our country,” Colom noted that advocates correct that mistake to avoid an end to the heritage of all, “for the benefit of purely commercial interests private television duopoly “he added. Another concern FAPAE is the disappearance of Teledeporte channel and its merger with La 2.

“It can not be the only cultural channel that is in Spain and projecting normally Spanish cinema and European cinema has to take sports and reduce the hours of culture in your grill “

.

The screen quota is the only positive of the situation of Spanish cinema. Fewer films are shot. In 2014 shootings are down to 15 percent from last year. So has the average budget movies. From 2009 to 2014 have fallen by half in 2009 was 3.2 million and this year is just over one million euros.
