June 10, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has criticized Bie\u0142aru\u015bfilm, a state-controlled film production company, for inefficiency and poor sales as he visited it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government has created conditions for film production and Bie\u0142aru\u015bfilm in particular, but \u201cthe return so far is not just zero, but below zero. . . Neither the state nor the viewer sees the results,\u201d his press office quoted him as saying. \u201cThere is nothing to watch! Family, youth and children’s audiences have been lost completely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet them produce, sell and survive. If they don\u2019t, then goodbye. For how long can we support them? They actually hang on the shoulders of the state. What should we give money for?\u201d his press office quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler made public funding conditional on the production of \u201chigh-quality successful movies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Film production and the allocation of funds require \u201cironclad control,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka stressed. \u201cWe give you one rubel, you return two,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 27, \u0141uka\u0161enka appointed D\u017amitryj Siamiona\u016d, an official with the culture department at the Minsk City Executive Committee, as CEO of Bie\u0142aru\u015bfilm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
