In October 1999 at its 14th plenary meeting The Interparliamentary Assembly of Member Nations of the Commonwealth of Independent States (IPA CIS) passed a model law ‘On State Support for Cinematogra- FOCUS phy’, fundamental provisions of which should have been used as the basis for laws in this sphere for each member country. Still, it should be noted that 14 years later not all CIS states adopted the corresponding legal acts. STATE SUPPORT OF FILM In the CIS countries state support of film industry is carried out through the Ministries of Culture, as well as INDUSTRY IN THE CIS organizations within specialized offices of the Ministries or directly regulated by the governments. COUNTRIES: RUSSIA, Financial aid goes to those projects, which meet the criteria of the state and international law, therefore UKRAINE, KAZAKHSTAN being granted the status of national films. Governmental support includes the partial or full budgeting of the projects, as well as providing tax credits for filmmaking organizations.

Although we have already written several articles about the state support for cinematography in CIS states, it was more than year (or even several years) ago, and there were some changes in aid allocation schemes, which are constantly improved (at least we hope they are). This time we will tell about the current situation in the sphere of national film industry support in the three largest markets of CIS states – Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

RUSSIA

National film industry support in Russia falls into two principal groups of expenses: Federal Target Program (FTP) ‘Russian Culture’ (2012–2018) and target expenditure item State Support in Culture, Cinematog- raphy and Mass Media (non-programme expenses), which comprise separate expenditures types, i.e. procurement for the goods, works and services for state needs and providing subsidies for legal (government-owned institution excluding) and physical entities – goods, works and services manufacturers and suppliers.

As a rule, state support for the production of ‘national’ films cannot exceed 70% of the production budget and must follow the prescribed format of the contract entered into with the producer. In certain exceptional cases, allowing for the artistic and cultural value of a film project, federal executive authorities in cinematography may adopt a decision on state financing of up to 100% of a ‘national’ film’s estimated production cost.

In 2011 provisions that defined what films might get the status of ‘national’ were changed. Before that, the cinematographer without Russian citizenship could not get support even when shooting film about Russia and on the territory of Russia. But from 2011 such film may become national on the condition that no less than the half of its authors are citizens of Russia. Moreover, the language of the national film may be other than the Russian if it is an artistic conception. Foreign producers’ investment share rose from 30% to 50%.

To avoid money laundering schemes profit tax immunities were cancelled in 2002 for organisations investing in national film production and copying as equally for those investing in building new film theatres. Still, to compensate for the financial resources withdrawn from the industry, allocations for direct state support of production and distribution of national films were increased (to RUB 1 billion in 2002). And to reduce state participation in the film industry the Russian Federation Government announced the need to secure state rights on film products generated with state support, so that the state gains revenues from distribution and other types of use of national films proportionate to state financing. However such a mechanism was never implemented in practice and state support is still provided free of any compensation.

Since 2010 national film industry support is provided by two organizations – Ministry of Culture and the State Film Fund of the Russian Federation (Russian State Film Fund). It was thought that the Fund would help only those films with the commercial potential, recouping its expenses out of box-office revenues, instead of supporting with grants debut, autour, documentary and children films.

The so-called list of leaders was identified at the meeting of supervisory board of the Fund in March 2010. The companies chosen met several criteria, among which were the projects popularity among viewers, awards won at international film festivals, large theatrical box-office, high TV ratings. However, this leaders list has caused heated controversy among the market participants. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) discovered the signs of violation of antimonopoly legislation in the process of identifying the leaders.

At the beginning of 2011 the framework for determining the leaders was formalized. Seven companies were called the leaders of the Russian film industry and received grants in 2011. They were Central Part- nership, CTB Film Company, Studio Trite, Direktsiya Kino, Tabbak, Art Pictures Studio and PROFIT. Funds had been divided equally among these companies. But such scheme was ineffective – due to agreements signed in 2010-2012 the producers returned only RUB 17.2 million (about $516 000).

In 2013 Russian State Film Fund implemented the new scheme by funding projects instead of production companies themselves. From now on, the market leaders have to ‘protect’ their projects: to receive grant films must be assessed by an Expert Committee, approved by supervisory board and agreed upon by the Ministry of Culture. The number of leaders increased to 13: Central Partnership, CTB Film Company, Stu- dio Trite, Direktsiya Kino, Tabbak, Art Pictures Studio, PROFIT, Enjoy movies, Strela, REAL-Dakota, Non- Stop Production, Racoon-cinema, ROK.

It must be mentioned that the total budget of the state support for national film production in Russia in 2013 fell from RUB 2.2 billion ($66 million) to RUB 1.5 billion ($45 million), and being on the list is not a guarantee of receiving funds.

In 2013 the Russian State Film Fund will allocate RUB 3 billion ($90 million): RUB 1.5 billion ($45 million) go to abovementioned ‘leaders’, RUB 400 million ($12 million) to other prodcos, RUB 100 million ($3 million) for subsidizing of credit interest rates for film production, and RUB 1 billion ($30 million) will get the producers, who promise to cover the expenses in full (8 projects) or partially (6 projects).

At the same time the Ministry of Culture will provide the producers with RUB 2.34 billion ($70.3 million) supporting 10 children films, 10 directorial debuts, 6 thematic films (‘Special Projects’), 203 documentaries, 69 animation films, 4 TV series and 12 autour films.

UKRAINE

Until recently Ukrainian film production has always been supported by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on leftovers. Due to the recently adopted Law ‘On cinematography’ came into force on the 1st of January 2011, the amount of the national film support must be outlined both in the state and local budgets and should be included in protected budget items lists of the common and specific funds.

It means that in the nearest future Ukrainian film theaters, TV channels, cable operators and internet- providers will have to pay the specific fee (just like in France). This will give the additional funds for the support of national film industry, but, still, there haven’t been any mechanism like this before in Ukraine, so the national film financial aid is provided only by the state at the moment.

All decisions on national film production and distribution (in cinemas, internet video sources or on television) financing are taken by the State cinematography service Expert commission. To be 100% finan- cially supported by government film should meet at least one of the following criteria: director’s debut, documentary, animation or the film for children. Any other projects (co-production included) will have 50% financial support ceiling. Income received on the national film development and production is completely tax-free. Also any subject engaged in national films distribution is VAT-free.

All the national films must be produced on the territory of Ukraine by entities registered on the territory of the state, and all or some copyright or proprietary rights ownership should be reserved by Ukrainian entities. Moreover, the audio sequence must be in Ukrainian language. Funds invested by the sponsors and investors into the national film production and distribution are included into the gross expenditure.

In 2011 there were 37 films selected (out of 113) and enlisted into the National Film Production and Dis- tribution Programme 2011-2012 by the State cinematography service Expert commission. It should be noted that among the experts were both those who decided on the amount of grants for the producers and the producers themselves. It was because the session had been previously divided into four stages: fiction films (short- and full-length), debuts, documentaries and animation, – and an ‘expert’, who applied for support in one section, could be a member of jury in other section only, said the Expert commission head.

The supported films are following: 17 full-length fiction projects, 7 short-length fiction films, 7 full-length documentaries, 5 animation films and one short-length documentary. They received about $9 million out of $15 million planned by the producers.

Since than there were four more sessions: the second (29 projects) and third (25 projects) made up the Programme for 2012-2013. Later they had been ‘accompanied’ by more than 40 other, not yet completed projects. Still, it is unclear whether any of these films will be produced at all.

The fourth and fifth sessions determined the national films included into the Programme for 2013-2014 – 44 and 36 projects correspondingly.

In September the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has amended the Law ‘On ratification of the European Con- vention on Cinematographic co-production’, drawing the line between the Ministry of Culture and Ukrain- ian State Film Agency and expanding the powers of the latter.

According to the plan until the end of 2013 Ukraine will allocate $17.1 million to support more than 10 full- length feature movies, 20 episodes of different animation projects and 39 documentaries. However, the total budget of all projects included into the list of ‘national’ for 2013 exceeds $100 million. Total budget of the state support for national film production in Ukraine in 2008-2013, $ mln.

KAZAKHSTAN

As the Film Law is still under development in Kazakhstan, the national audiovisual projects’ production is regulated by the Law on Culture. It states what films should be treated as the national, and prescribes the terms and conditions and procedures of films theatrical distribution and storage.

To be granted the status of national, film should be of artistic and cultural value and must support the im- age of Kazakhstan on the global stage through the art of cinematography. National film producers must be the citizens of Kazakhstan and/or legal entities registered on the territory of the state. The film crew should consist of no more than 30% of foreigners, and no less than 70% of the total volume of work on production, distribution and public demonstration must be done by organizations registered on the territory of Ka- zakhstan. Foreign investments are allowed, but their volume should not exceed 30% of the total film budget. Moreover, film, co-produced with foreign companies, may be national only in case the governments of Kazakhstan and corresponding countries have previously concluded an agreement on co-production.

Government supports national film industry through exclusive funding of the state film company Kazakh- film (its production capacity is far greater than that of the local independent prodcos). Thus, the company is a co-producer of all national films produced in the country. Independent production companies provide services for Kazakhfilm. In such case their relationship is regulated by legal basis on public tenders and government procurement.

Those who want to get grants, apply to special scenario editorial board being a part of Kazakhfilm. After the manuscripts have been selected and edited in a proper way, they are included into the thematic plan (in accordance with the themes chosen by Ministry of Culture) for the next year. Then, before the end of the current year the Ministry of Culture itself must adopt them. By the way, funds for national films distribution are provided for in the budget of Ministry of Culture. Total budget of the state support for national film production in Kazakhstan in 2008-2013, $ mln.

Over the past few years the changes in the funding of the national film production by thw government of the Republic of Kazakhstan were abrupt. In 2011 the Ministry of Culture budget for the production of national films amounted to $30.5 million. However, the next year the sum decreased to $14 million, and in 2013 jumped up to $26 million.

In September-October 2013 theatrical releases of four Ukrainian films took place in Ukraine and at least one more to be released in November. These are record breaking results for the country where broad audi- INTERVIEW ence is introduced 4-5 locally produced features per year. Two of the autumn national releases – comedy The Pawnsop (Lombard) and thriller Unforgotten Shadows (Tini Nezabutykh Predkiv) – are directed by Lubomyr Levitskiy who is also a co-producer of the second project. In the exclusive interview to CIS: Con- tent Report Ukrainian filmmaker told about perspectives of theatrical distribution of Ukrainian films, state LUBOMYR LEVITSKIY: support for film production and involvement of private investments in film industry as well as cooperation with local distributors. The graduates of Lubomyr, you are one of the leading Ukrainian directors whose films are released in native coun- Ukrainian film schools try. You create mainstream movies that differ very much from the films produced in Ukraine. At are only taught to shoot the same time most of the authors prefer to be engaged in production of arthouse and festival projects. From your point of view, what are their reasons to set such priorities? “Ukrainian poetic films” There are two simple reasons Ukrainian filmmakers identify themselves as arthouse authors. The first is that the graduates of Ukrainian film schools are only taught to shoot “Ukrainian poetic films” and nothing else. They try to improve themselves as artists through the art of cinema. But it seems that their personal meaning of this art is rather abstract and nobody is interested in it but the authors themselves and people engaged in their projects. Most of these projects can hardly be called arthouse. Trash – more likely. In Ukraine there are no young experienced professionals who would teach youth to work in a different way. Some graduates of directing faculty came to me at the shooting set. They didn’t even know the basic ter- minology. What else to be said here?

One more reason is author’s desire to win awards and recognition from the public and critics. This willing is quite natural. Filmmakers speculate the way “If I make mainstream movie they definitely won’t take it to the fest. I shouldn’t do that. I need a film reflecting my artistic vision then it will go to the fests: Cannes, Oscar…” So filmmakers are drawn to arthouse by their own dreams. I don’t mean that auteur cinema is something bad and useless. It can find its viewers, and the audience is broad enough. But some people create trash and then call it arthouse. That’s wrong. Robert Rodriguez never denied that he makes trash movies that are watched by millions. You may shoot anything you want but call it the proper name.

In Ukraine auteur and festival films are supported by the State Film Agency. Don’t you think that mainstream projects have less chance to gain state support? Lubomyr Levitskiy State Film Agency doesn’t give up of supporting mainstream cinema. The Pawnsop I directed and wrote the script was produced by Andrey Savenko (production company Kinofabrika) and he managed to gain state funding for production. The project was a kind of an experiment for me. And it resulted successfully. Critics’ response was not bad. It’s obviously that the film couldn’t become a hit without appropriate promotion. No meter how good is the movie it won’t work without promo. In general, state government repre- sented by the Film Agency and its head Kateryna Kopylova supports production of films expecting these will be good ones, genre doesn’t matter. At the same time money is not a problem. Just try and you’ll find it. At the same time film industry shows the lack of good scripts as well good producers. There are people that can give me $1 million or even $2 million but the question is how to give the money back. Unlike the creators of auteur films I try to find the answer to this question. For me it’s important to make the movie be commercially successful and profitable.

You mean that there are private investors in Ukraine who are ready to invest in local production of mainstream movies.

There are investors who are ready to provide funding for film production but first of all they want to understand how to get profit of the future movie. Producer can get the money if he is capable to explain how the system works, describe the means he will use to gain profit and show the examples of commercial success. The problem arises together with the question “Have anybody managed to do it before?” That is the moment when the producer falters and starts to tell fairytales because none of Ukrainian films managed to recover the investments after being released on the local market.

I and my co-producer Andrex Selivanov represent company Suspense Films. We make Unforgotten shadows together with our partners from Unison Cinema. The project is not expensive. The budget won’t exceed $1 million, promotion is included. We managed to find schemes allowing max quality for affordable expenses. It’s possible.

Together with our partners we represent the “supply” and we risk because don’t know the “demand” for our product. We are just about to determine it as nobody did it before.

We started from small budgets to investigate the market situation, to learn the audience and its prefer- ences as well as the commercial potential of the movie.

Do you really think it is possible production costs to be recovered at the local market?

It’s really possible. It will work with our Unforgotten shadows because we paid much attention to promotion. Since casting started we kept to provide media with fresh information on the project. Many people wait for the release. Major promotion campaign started on November 1 with the support of national broad- casters – Novy Channel, ICTV, STB, М1 – announcing the upcoming release. We use all the available means. Our aim is to create a market case and prove that we have a high quality product.

Producers from Europe and the USA agree that project promotion is to be paid not less attantion than the very production. They start promo while the project is in preproduction. Do Ukrainian producers learn from the experience of their foreign collogues?

Foreign experience won’t work in our country. We don’t have the industry they do and we don’t have schemes to follow. We have to develop these schemes ourselves as well as appropriate business agreements because there are no samples in our country. Sure, there are some universal means used all over the world like TV, outdoor advertising and internet. But there are also rumors that are meat and drink for our people and we don’t waste chance to use it fueling their interest with fresh facts from the project.

Is that the same reason TV host from Novy Channel and other celebrities are involved in the movie?

Alyona Musienko had been in the project before she became Novy Channel host. I remember her asking me to give her a day-off so she could go to the casting at Novy. Her colleague Olga Freimuth agreed to work with our team because she was interested in getting new experience. Famous Ukrainian actress Olga Sumska played protagonist’s mother and she didn’t care that the role was small. Everybody enjoy doing something new and interesting.

In Rodriguez’s trash movies star outstanding actors and world celebrities. They do it because they enjoy it and they like working with Rodriguez. It’s the matter of an idea and a good script. The lack of these both is the problem of Ukrainian film industry. We should start from teaching script writers to write scripts.

You are a script writer and a film director, moreover you coproduce your latest film Unforgotten Shadows. People like you are called filmmakers. Does a person have to be such a universal special- ist to work in film industry?

In film industry one must know everything. A filmmaker must learn each separate process because they all are connected to each other. The understanding of these processes brings understanding of the whole picture. The director paying attention only to the artistic component of the project and rejecting the techni- cal one can’t create a proper modern film because it takes high technologies, computers and electronic devices. One must learn how to use them. Sure, there are specialists that provide appropriate services completing your lack of knowledge. But their services are rather expensive.

Whose services you have to pay for?

There were always VFX-supervisor and script-supervisor at the set. They controlled the shooting process. Postproduction company Terminal FX based in Kiev produced visual effects. Credits are produced by another local studio Coffeepost. Dnepropetrovsk studio RaketaFilm was also engaged in creating CG-shots for the movie.

Tell about your company Suspense Films. Is it engaged in production of music videos and TV com- Lubomyr Levitskiy mercials like many Ukrainian independent productions are?

Suspense Films produced its first film in 2006. It was Shtolnya (Adit) – a kind of my degree work. Then the company paused any activity until I together with Andrex Selivanov made a decision to bring it back to life.

Media Resources Management. 22 Zakrevsky St., Kiev 02660, Ukraine 31 www.mrm.ua Tel.: +380 (44) 459-4610; e-mail: [email protected] INTERVIEW INTERVIEW INTERVIEW №15 November 2013

We set films production as our priority. We specialize in thrillers and horrors. We seek for participation in international film projects and film company Unison Cinema is supposed to be engaged as our partner.

As for the music videos and TV commercials I do continue to cooperate with other companies as director but these projects do not concern Suspense Films. We are not going to enter local advertising market. Otherwise we would have to give up film production making affords to fit the market which is rather mature and the competition is tough. So, I do freelance on my own and take part in projects and tenders I’m interested in. The money I earn I invest in my movie.

Now you invest in your project. How is it supposed to recover your investments?

Our aim is to get profit selling the results of our work – our film. Like American and European film companies do and none of Ukrainian ones. Local producers don’t even expect to earn money from the theatrical releases of their films. May be, they want to get profit but they don’t make much affords to get it.

Launching the project we planned its theatrical release in Ukraine as well as international sales. Our movie is a product for export. It’s like McDonalds – whatever country you live, when buying tickets for this kind of film you do understand what you’ll see on the screen. It’s clear that it’s a thriller. That’s why we have chosen this genre.

We cooperate with sales agent Independent Ventures providing worldwide sales of Unforgotten shadows. Some foreign distributors are interested in the movie. They wait for the final product with subtitles to be ready then they will make their decision.

Moreover the film is supposed to be released in Russia. We’ll see the reaction of distributors after they’ll get copies in Russian. For now we signed agreements of intent that actually put no obligations on any of the parts.

Are you going to sell all rights within one package?

It depends on the deal. It’s business. We may spend $1.5 million to promote film in Russia and it will collect $2 million in the theatres. At the same time TV rights may cost $600-700 thousand and the promotion is up to the channel. So, we prefer to sell rights separately. If someone wants the whole package all we have to discuss is the price.

Unforgotten Shadows is released in partnership with B&H Film Distribution – the major player on the local market. How do you cooperate with the distributor?

Distributors seek for profit. To make them release the film producer have to prove its commercial potential. And the local distributors don’t believe Ukrainian films worth releasing. That is why we do everything we can to reduce B&H’s risks. We do the promotion, we place the ads and develop means to control admissions. So, the distributor’s share will be 12-13% of the gross box-office that is a bit less than the share they get from the rest of their releases.

Sure, there is another way. The producer may spend a few months of his life visiting theatres to agree the date of the release and number of screens. The problem is producer doesn’t control the money flow while the distributors do. Theatres won’t get copies of a new film unless they have paid for the previous one. What can make theatres pay independent producer? There is a possibility that the only payment he gets is promises.

There are rumors your next project is planned to be international coproduction. Tell a few words of your plans?

I’ve started working on a script. The name of the future movie is Shengen. It is supposed to be a dramatic story of a man that makes 45 attempts to cross the border. This story is real. I’ve heard it from a man that had spent some time in jail. It happened to one of the prisoners. He had his special personal reason to get to Europe. It was a question of life or death for him. We’ll tell that reason to the audience so the viewers will understand it and treat the main hero with sympathy. We’ll make people believe that an ordinary man, a Ukrainian may become a real hero, a kind of a Superman.

Yes.

But it is a huge sum of money for the 4-episode film in Ukraine…
