Cabinet approves concept of law on film
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its meeting on Monday, the cabinet discussed a concept of the law on film, and then obliged D.Dorligjav, the Minister of Justice; and L.Gantomor, the Minister of Education, Culture and Science, to adopt the concept, reflecting proposals from Ministers and to submit a bill on film to the cabinet.
At a national level, about 30-40 movies are made a year, but Mongolia lacks a legal regulation for providing movie makers and theatres with professional and methodological management. Moreover, the country is vital to create the legal environment for realizing the state policy and strategy on film, therefore the bill has been formulated to regulate works related to rights and duties of film makers, financing of film industry and protecting rights of movie theatres.
Having 16 clauses in five articles, the bill on film is projected to make the policy on film more accurate, train professionals, to gain progressive technologies and to make the Mongolian film industry competitive.
