OREANDA-NEWS This year, the Ministry of Culture and the Cinema Foundation have allocated 10 billion rubles to support the creation of Russian films, Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova said.
"Through the Ministry of Culture and the Cinema Foundation, this year we are for the first time (...) we distributed 10 billion rubles. This is a very large sum," Lyubimova said on Monday at the conference "The Film Industry in the New Reality 2022".
According to her, the logic of the distribution of projects has become clear to the market. "All blockbusters, all big children's projects, spectacular, animated - it's all the Cinema Fund. Everything that concerns the author's cinema, historically it is the Ministry of Culture, we are waiting for everyone on our site," Lyubimova said.
She added that from next year it is planned to return support for "complex author's animation" to the Ministry of Culture, since there is a corresponding expertise there, and the masters are used to presenting projects at the department's site.
According to the executive director of the Cinema Fund Fedor Sosnov, the news about the increase in funding came at the end of last year, which required the industry to approach the formation of the application block in an extremely short time.
"The competitive procedures were divided into two waves - spring and autumn, and thanks to this division, the volume of applications received by the fund during 2022 is exactly twice as high as the volume of applications received during 2021," Sosnov said.
By the end of the year, the number of supported projects will be about five times higher than in 2021, the head of the fund added.
"Which, of course, cannot but please in relative terms, which is not so good in absolute terms," Sosnov said. He clarified that we are talking about supporting 35 new projects, and a total of 60 projects, taking into account additional financing.
Lyubimova clarified that another 150 projects were supported by the Ministry of Culture. At the same time, the Ministry believes that 300 projects supported per year would solve the problem of domestic film screenings. "If you add up 150 and your 60, then we still have a hole in 90 projects and let's close it together," Lyubimova said.
