Movie draft law seeks views
CHINA yesterday began soliciting public submissions on a draft law aimed at spurring the development of the country's movie industry by offering more incentives to movie producers and reaching out to a wider audience.
The draft law on movie promotion, published on the website of the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, China's Cabinet, lowered the threshold for movie sponsorship by allowing companies and individuals to invest through simple procedures.
State-owned and private enterprises will be able to apply for filmmaker licenses after releasing at least two movies that do not violate Chinese law, according to the draft.
Overseas enterprises can participate in China's movie-making operations via cooperations with their Chinese counterparts, according to the draft.
The state will increase its investment and offer financial incentives such as tax breaks in the movie industry, while employing "forceful measures" to tackle movie-related copyright infringements, the draft said.
With an annual output of more than 500 films, China boasts the world's third-largest film industry after India and the United States.
China has more than 9,000 cinema screens, with an average of eight more being added daily, according to data released by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
