Dear all, Please find attached the petition where you can support *with your signature* the Czech filmmakers in their struggle for better conditions regarding their national cinematography. The new Law for the support of the Czech Cinematography was supposed to increase the amount of money from 2 Mio Euro to 10-15 Mio Euro in the State Fund which supports national film production. This new law was approved in February 2006 by the Parliament. In May 12 the President vetoed the law and it went back to the Parliament where it was rejected unexpectedly May 23. The fact that the Czech politicians refuse to provide for their film artists a platform that enables them to co-produce with their European colleagues and by this to make Czech films be known worldwide is highly counterproductive to the national film production. Your support from abroad would help us a lot in fighting for better conditions for Czech films that are standard in other European countries. When you think you can support us kindly *print the petition on the stationary of your company, institution or organization* and send it back by fax to us. *Fax-No: +420 22 11 05 303* You may download the German, French or Spanish language version from our web site: www.filmcenter.cz Thank you!
