The National Autonomous Cinematography Center (CNAC) held a new day of the Technical Board of Venezuelan Cinema, with the objective of advancing the construction of a consensus policy within the framework of the National Cinematography Act (LCN), aimed at strengthening mechanisms to support national productions.

The meeting was led by the president of the CNAC, Román Chamorro, together with the strategic general manager, Evelyn Márquez, and the oversight manager, Alfonso Rangel. In addition, representatives of the film industry also participated, including Néstor Villalobos, director of the film “Believe or Die”; as well as delegates from the Gran Cine Circuit and the country's main exhibition chains: Cines Unidos, CINEX and SuperCines.

During the meeting, the CNAC presented a balance sheet of the film “Believe or Die”, which has registered an attendance of 12,004 spectators to date. At the same time, director Néstor Villalobos presented promotional strategies that include visits to universities, communities and private screenings to expand the film's reach.

Movie theater representatives expressed willingness to evaluate the implementation of the “agreed functions” modality, a scheme that allows for coordination between exhibitors, distributors and filmmakers to facilitate public access to national productions, taking as a reference recent experiences in the state of Nueva Esparta.

Finally, the president of the CNAC reaffirmed the institutional commitment to strengthen the exhibition of Venezuelan cinema in the country, through agreements with the private sector and the support of the State, in order to expand the circulation of national content.
