What shall we do without state financed films??

I happen to find it tragic - many of the best of Argentina cinema are INCAA films. The right side never understands or supports the arts. Such fun as an expat ducking into the cinema for the latest release.

I love the arts, but why should a country with close to 50% poverty be financing romantic comedies?

Small budget and how much other waste is there? And I’m not talking Adrian Suar movies - they all suck. Jajaja

Scanning the box office receipts for some of the Argentine films I've seen they have all taken between ten and fifteen times their production costs so they represent an excellent investment for the nation.

The destruction of the culture in the name of no hay plata will make Argentina a backwater in Latin America . Our film industry is the best of latin america and brings in massive benefits to the society and its people . Many argentinian films have won international awards and put this country on the map .

Wasn't Andrea Del Boca paid lots of money by Christina for movies that failed? I'm only posting this from memory as I've never seen a film with her in it.
