At the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, the representatives of political parties and Prime Minister promised to provide an extraordinary contribution of the state to the Fund. Following the discussions with the political representatives, a Working Group was established at the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, aimed at formulating theses to describe the film community's expectations of an optimum shape of the state support, institutional assurance and overall legal framework in the cinematography area, on the basis of which it would consequently be possible to draft a new cinematography law. The law should address all the areas of film making, film production, film institutions and film education. On 14 November 2006, the Film Council was established to associate 17 professional associations, 9 film festivals and 5 film institutions and schools. It aims at co-ordinating the preparation of the cinematography law and informing its members on progress of such work. In 2006, an amendment to Act No. 273/1993 Coll., on certain conditions of the production, dissemination and archiving of audiovisual works, was adopted. Commencing 1 January 2007, the amendment also imposes, among others, an obligation upon producers and distributors to forward File Sheets to the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, which will maintain, apart from the database of businesses engaged in the audiovision, also files of audiovisual works. STATE SUPPORT FOR CINEMATOGRAPHY The cinematography area is regulated by Act No. 241/1992 Coll., on the State Fund of the Czech Republic for Support and Development of the Czech Cinematography, and Act No. 273/1993Sb., on certain conditions of production, dissemination and archiving of audiovisual works, on modifications and amendments to certain laws and some other regulations, as later amended. In the financial support area, the state support is realised through the State Fund of the Czech Republic for Support and Development of the Czech Cinematography and selection procedure for subsidy from the Ministry of Culture. In both the cases, individual subsidy areas are announced every year. Projects are assessed and potential supports are recommended by a panel of independent experts. In 2006, the total financial support from the state budget in the area of medias and audiovision reached the amount of 91,616,590 CZK. The state covers the membership fees in European organisations, such as Eurimages, European Audiovisual Observatory and MEDIA Programme. In 2006, the members of the Subsidy Selection Commission of the Department of Media and Audiovision of the Ministry of Culture were as follows: MgA. Petr Bok, Mgr. Briana Čechová, Josef Eismann, Josef Hanuš, Adriena Jirková, Mgr. Darina Křivánková, PhDr. Jaroslav Matoušek, PhDr. Petr Pavlovský (Commission Chairman) and Milica Pechánková. 2 155x235 pages mkcr en 17.7.2007 12:06 Stránka 3 Subsidies granted by the Department of Media and Audiovision in 2006 Recipient Project Subsidy in CZK Academy of Performing Arts FAMUfest 200,000 - Faculty of Films and Television Association of Czech Film Clubs Seminars 800,000 Association of Czech Film Clubs Film and School 150,000 Association of Czech Cinematographers Prizes of Association of 50,000 Czech Cinematographers Avant Promotion s. r. o Arts&Film Telč - European Art 300,000 Film Festival Castrum, o. p. s.
