The Taxpayers Association criticized the financing of “goehte 2″ with public funds. But can be removed from the funding productions just because they are successful?
While the majority of the cinema interested humanity for “Star Wars “snake stands, the Association of Taxpayers another movie theme is just before Christmas still occurred.
In the Rheinische Post , its President Reiner Holznagel echauffierte over the lush state, from tax revenues fed film promotion, which put the German hit film “F * ck You, Goethe 2″. “It can not be that after a successful first part also his successor shall be subsidized by the taxpayer,” he told the newspaper. “Here’s something wrong in the system FilmFörderung Here the policy changes have to make..”
His argument: As already was the support of regional and national government film funds first part of the comedy so successfully, would have to part need to find two problems private financiers
This sounds true, of course -. and in essence, the thesis is right absolutely. “F * ck You, Goethe 2″ has, inter alia, more than 1.2 million euros to get support from the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF) – ie from tax revenues of the federal government. Meanwhile production has recorded almost 62 million euros, a sensational result
Only:. To be Filmförderung has in Germany the complicated double task, both cultural as well as economic and location promotion. You should not only finance small, artistically innovative projects whose economic prospects are often manageable.
You should also strengthen the promotional film in Germany and secure with larger productions as these resources and jobs. These are dependent on large orders and not of niche productions. Then benefit from a constant highly prepared, well-trained German film industry ideally large and small productions.
German Film Fund is sponsoring almost every theater production
Something strange seems that the federal government taxpayers are just now, three and a half months after the launch of “goehte 2″, on co-financing with public funds upset.
This is in Germany with almost every movie and many television films the case. The need to find not good – but as long as the film support in such a way as now, they can badly exclude productions from funding application, merely because they are commercially promising
You must be open to the unknown author filmmakers just like the “. goehte “-Machern or the producer of Hape Kerkeling-adaptation” I’m off “, which was funded by the DFFF with 680 000 euros.
