The president of the Film Institute, Liliana Mazure, announced a project to regulate the entry of copies of foreign films into the country and a plan of soft loans and grants for opening more rooms and to equip them with cutting-edge digital technology.
Mazure confirmed the official concern for management of the supply of films in Argentina, since in recent months, a cascade of "tanks" Americans, like the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter", which premiered more than 300 copies, a figure quite unique if you consider that across the country there are only 800 screens.
"We want to regulate the entry of copies to the country, because there may be a foreign film is released with 400 copies," she said.
In an interview with Telam, Mazure said that "there is a draft decree to regulate the entry of foreigners into the country copies. He is preparing our Legal management to see if we implement a resolution of the Inca, but you must go through the Secretariat Legal and Technical Office to see if it respects the legal framework and all applicable pre-established. "

Despite noting that during 2011 so far in the country opened 13 new rooms with a total of 25 screens, Mazure admitted that "Argentina has very few screens on its new domestic cultural market, because there is now a great production, but no amount of rooms or screens according to the production of national cinema that we are having. "
"We have no more than 800 screens, while Colombia has 1,500, 4,500 and Mexico Brazil 5,000, so our situation is totally disproportionate, and therefore we encourage the digitization of existing rooms and other policies to also open up more rooms "Mazure said.

"When you scan the rooms would solve this whole problem, 'said Mazure, because this new technology will enable a much more simple because there is no need to invest in making a huge number of copies of movies, then stay a few weeks in theaters" .
For the official, thanks to the policies of the national government in relation to the installation of satellites and antennas across the country, "in a very short time we will be able to reach in a short time rooms without hard drives or hard copies , which is a very important step forward, "he said.
However, he warned that the implementation of this plan "is very complex, because it is equipment to be brought in from outside, making calls to tender and a count of which rooms need this technology, and also motivate and encourage the opening of new rooms. "
"We need at least 500 screens," reflected Mazure, adding "The provinces are in a different market, they are consuming a lot of show and we need more screens."
