Algerian filmmakers have stepped up a campaign calling for their government to unlock promised state funds for cinema, warning thatFollowing on from a first open letter in June, the Collective of Algerian Cineastes has published a new letter addressed to Minister of Culture Soraya Mouloudji, re-demanding clarification on the government’s funding plans for cinema.
The minister promised a replacement fund would soon be announced but nine months later no new scheme has been unveiled and successor Mouloudji has been equally unforthcoming.A number of completed features approved for funding under Fdatic have yet to receive their monies, while a handful of projects in development that were assessed by a final session of the fund’s reading committee are now in limbo.
Following June’s open letter, Mouloudji promised in August to unblock the situation but the collective said nothing has moved forward.
