In today’s sitting, Mr Borys’s report was put to the vote. The resolution points out that it is too expensive for small, independent cinemas to purchase all the digital equipment they need to keep abreast of the digital revolution.
The European Union is being asked to provide specific subsidies to help these businesses invest in production and the ability to screen films in 3D and using HDTV or Blu-Ray technology. EU and national subsidies for European cinema should encourage the diversification of film production and the cinema circuit so as to promote the continent’s varied cultural identities. Parliament is therefore calling for an increase in state aid and for money to be made available from the European Structural Funds and the new MEDIA programme to support the digitisation of production and distribution of European cinema.
According to Parliament, the key challenge facing European cinema today is to encourage people to go to the small, independent cinemas in small towns and rural areas, which are particularly vulnerable financially and need help to keep up with current technological developments."@en1
