<\/TD>\n | <\/TD> \n | \n Spain\u2019s Film Academy Praises the Dominican Republic\u2019s Film Law <\/STRONG> A<\/SPAN>t the 2015 Goya Awards gala, which took place on the evening of Saturday, February 7, 2015, the President of the Spanish Film Academy, Enrique Gonz\u00e1lez Macho, at the end of his usual address at the ceremony, praised the implementation of the film law in the Dominican Republic.<\/P> Enrique Gonz\u00e1lez, referring to the motion pictures that are produced in the United States and France, said that they are the most powerful film industries in the world, with two different models but what they have in common is that cinema is a State matter and they travel with it all over the world. He acknowledged and welcomed the new film law of the Dominican Republic. “In the Dominican Republic, since practically very recently, cinema was something almost symbolic, it meant very little, you are working very seriously, as Colombia has done recently, with a film law, investing in education, that is, you have understood perfectly well that the development of a country\u2019s culture involves cinema. I wish you Colombia\u2019s success, which has matured from being testimonial to becoming a moviemaking powerhouse.” He ended his words of acknowledgment with a desire for Dominican cinema to flood the screens in Spain and across Europe.<\/P> In 2014, the Spanish movie industry went from being subsidized to earning millions of euros in revenue for the government and the Spanish people. Employment grew thanks to the success of the films that broke records that year: La isla m\u00ednima, Ocho apellidos vascos, Torrente 5, El ni\u00f1o, among others.<\/P> Video: http:\/\/youtu.be\/7klr2f6t69I<\/A><\/P> <\/P> |
