Fernando Meirelles:

That is possible and will happen this way early. With those Cable TVs the demand for TV productions has increased and nowadays there are many competent producers able to make movies, TV productions.. and it will happen, inexorably.

My producer, O2 Filmes, has an agreement with Globo(TV) for co-production, for six years we've make some programs, a season in every year at Globo and I feel they are everytime more opened for TV productions and that it is going to happen soon.

[carlosestevam]

The State supports a movie and have rights to give tickets to people and the publisher will earn its part.

Mona Dorf:

And what about the cooperation with TV, Fernando? You worked here, you also have tried accordance with SBT (TV) to make "SBT Movies". In many countries, Cinema ran out to business through accordance by televisions to show national productions, is that possible here?

[carlosestevam]

Fernando Meirelles:

That is just what I was talking about, the exibition, if the State pretends to support the culture, I thought the State subsidy worths. Everytime Cinemark makes "Brazilian Cinema at low prices" the tickets are sold out, every year in the last 4, 5 years. People do not go to cinema because it is expensive. A movie is expensive.

I fully agree to a system (which I don't know how can be made) of ticket distribution.

[carlosestevam]

If the problem is about the exibition and if the circuit is pratically given to the international production (Batman enters, which I like very much, with 600 copies in the Brazilian market) what, not about the future, is our hope to retrieve the public and projection considering our scope?

[carlosestevam]

This happens in any festival, in the nation, even recently, in Gramado we had experienced it, everybody wants to make movies but they do not achieve publication in any circuit and the people making cinema do not want to simply publish in internet or blogs because they still believe that is a experience to be shared colectivelly.

Luiz Carlos Merten:

Still by the way, it never had such a big release/production of movies before ..

Fernando Meirelles:

Yes, there were 80 releases this year ..

Luiz Carlos Merten:

.. actually it has never used so much alternative medias but the node, actually, is the exibition, in the nation.

[carlosestevam]

I'd have a big pleasure if, for any movie of mine that has help from those laws, if I earn, say, R$ 2 million, to reserve for the State, for spreading as it wishes, 2 hundred thousands of tickets.

That is good for both producer and audience because the audience would not have money for the ticket and is also social justice. I receive money from the State and I must retrieve by some way. I agree, entirely.

[carlosestevam]

Fernando Meirelles: That is something that, when people ask me about that question, I say that is the great failure. They award production but that is an elite production that the population can't watch. The laws should award also the presentation because many people just can't pay for the ticket. I agree for the audiovisual law to be extended to presentation.

thanks alot man its really nice of u to take the trouble to translate it :D u think the internet is gona outpass cinema?

[carlosestevam]

I hope. Tomorrow I continue. I pretend to translate the entire interview.

Thanks!

Regards.

[carlosestevam]

André Nigri: Inside the same question made before, I would like to know .. in Brazil there is support to production but not to distribution and presentation and I would like you to comment about the law awarding production, finalization but not presentation of movies in Brazil.

[carlosestevam]

Fernando Meirelles: I think that is optimal because Cinema is democratic as text, anyone can write a text and publish on internet nowadays and Cinema is going to the same direction. You do not need a studio, expensive costs, you and your folks can express and tell a story, that is optimal.

[carlosestevam]

It is going and will stand in its own space.

Mona Dorf: .. By the way .. by the same means of that never before people has published much on blogs, internet, this kind of informatin, people has never filmed before as now with photographic cameras, celphone cameras, is it good or bad, by your vision, you being someone who likes experiments in cinema.

[carlosestevam]

When photography appeared people bet that painting was going to an end, when Cinema appeared was that photography was ending..

Lillian: I fully believe but will it change?

Fernando Meirelles: Yes, I feel that it will stand in one form but the experience of being in a dark room among many people, watching a good presentation with good sound quality, as a collective dream, is an unique experience.. Internet, i-phone, none of them gives this experience and it will not end.

[carlosestevam]

There is still market to event-films as Batman which are released for one third of the national cinema rooms, in fact the small movies are losing I bet that is because of new medias (folks have many options to listen to stories) but I bet Cinema will not go to an end.

[carlosestevam]

Fernando Meirelles: Actually, the public of Cinema is decreasing worldwide, mainly the medium and small productions, I make contact with Canadians, French, Japanese producers and the market is shrinking .

[carlosestevam]

There is another factor said by people about your movies which are emblematic, in The Constant Gardener there were 7 languages spoken and now in Blindness, 4 languages hence it is an industry under influence of globalization. What will happen to cinema ? Low weight hardware, everybody making their movies, the future of distribution is unknown, how does your art stand?

[amesh67]

i really need to know what hes saying, is there a version with english subtitles?

[carlosestevam]

She asks what is going to be the future of Cinema wordwide.

I'd like to ask you, first, or ask you to make a reflection about the future of Cinema. Everybody is talking 'bout, we'd interview David Linch, here, talking about the future being the internet, changes as miniaturization, by eventually small screens, decrease of the public in our cinema rooms (Brazilian).
