Funding for INCAA doesn’t come from taxpayers but rather from allocations of audiovisual industry duties. The bill also calls for cutting off funding for state-run film school ENERC and eliminating the screen quota for Argentine films in multiplex cinemas. “The proposed laws entail a complete reduction in the promotion fund, also destroying the autonomy of the Film Institute. Additionally, the eight campuses of the public and free Film University (ENERC) across the country will no longer be financed,” says the statement. This would mean that the president could take away INCAA funding and use it for other government bodies at any time.
