Ukrainian Film allocated an additional 120 million USD

State Budget for 2011 has about 120 million UAH for the film industry compared with the previous "residual principle" kinofinansirovaniya (it was in the range of 20-30 million USD) - the sum is almost a luxury, "said in an interview to ZN. Ukraine, the head of the agency for cinematography Ekaterina Kopylova. According to her, "initially assumed all of the figures of 24 million USD. Only. But later everything changed. " "Quite simply failed to motivate the need for such a budget line in the movie. After sufficient arguments for it. Believe there are not enough? Young and talented filmmakers could not show themselves because of the scarce previous injections into the movie ... Some kinoidei failed to realize, since forever "residual principle". Our motivations heeded. We have been heard, "- noted Kopylova. Asked about how much of the 120 million will go to the real projects of the National Film Studio of Alexander Dovzhenko, she said: "Here - an open question ... Ideas, of course, exist. But, certainly, not at all of them need to allocate huge budgets ... Remembering past experiences ... And the main thing in this matter: I see our future work is not easy in many of the old system - the state subsidizes and creative no responsibility. " Would like to see and dovzhenkovtsy active transition on the path of co-production. With other countries. With interesting foreign partners. And so we finally moved away from the archaic principle of public procurement. And provided film industry, "state aid".
