This Wednesday, the Bolivarian Government launched the National Cinematography Plan 2026-2031, as part of the celebration of the 129th anniversary of Venezuelan Cinema.

This was announced by the Minister of Popular Power for Culture, Ernesto Villegas, from the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Rómulo Gallegos (CELARG), in the city of Caracas, where activities were carried out in the framework of the anniversary of Venezuelan Cinema.

Villegas explained that the program seeks to consolidate “a robust Venezuelan cinematography that is at the service of our identity, of peace, of national development, of the Venezuelan affirmative.”

In addition, he reported on the creation of a film production line for children and young people that will bear the name of Donald Myerston and Viveca Baiz, “because the seventh art is a tool to exalt independence; without cinematography there is no sovereignty,” he said.

For this reason, he called on the film community, “in its widest diversity, to contribute to the path of building a road of peace and democratic coexistence for this country”.
