Peace to the palaces, war to the huts?
Read the plea of festival director Daniel Sponsel on the amendment of the Film Promotion Act
The art of cinema has never been accorded the esteem it deserves due to its social relevance. For more than all other arts, cinema generates high social synergies to strengthen democratic civil society.
A plea by our festival director Daniel Sponsel for a rethink in cultural policy on the occasion of the renewed postponement of the long overdue and urgently needed amendment of the Film Promotion Act (FFG) for another year.
