Klaus: It is up to state to help preserve Czech cinema |

Karlovy Vary, West Bohemia, July 1 (CTK) - It is undoubtedly up to the state to try to preserve the quality and quantity of Czech cinema, President Vaclav Klaus admitted after meeting film-makers today, but added that by no means would he sign the controversial bill on cinematography.
The bill was passed by the former Chamber of Deputies several months ago but vetoed by Klaus in mid-May, a veto the Chamber failed to override to a strong disappointment of film makers.
If passed, the bill would have brought more money to Czech cinema, as cinema theatres´ owners would contribute 2 percent from their revenues to the Fund for Cinematography. Video and DVD distributors would contribute 3 percent and TV stations also 3 percent of their revenues from commercials.
Public Czech Television (CT), which is reducing the volume of commercials broadcast, would contribute 0.5 percent.
The bill would have tripled the Fund´s budget, from which new films are subsidised, to an annual CZK 220 million crowns from current 70 million.
But Klaus said the point of dispute is not money but the mechanisms of providing it to the film industry.
The film-makers´ meeting with Klaus during the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival was initiated by festival President Jiri Bartoska. It was attended by producer Pavel Strnad, cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek, film faculty dean Michal Bregant and others.
Klaus called the meeting useful. "When people sit down at the table together they can understand each other," he said.
Documentary film-maker Helena Trestikova said that film makers will meet leading politicians this afternoon to discuss the issue.
"A draft of a new bill has been prepared," Trestikova said, adding that the "old" bill will have to be thoroughly reworked so that cinema is financed directly from the state budget. This method is purer, clearer and more transparent, Trestikova said.
(USD1=22.413 crowns)
