LMP calls on national film fund to account for “missing funds”
Budapest, July 31 (MTI) – The small opposition LMP party has asked the Hungarian National Film Fund and the government commissioner in charge of filmmaking to give an account of spending on film subsidies, the party said on Thursday.
LMP claims that billions of forints less have been paid to support film projects than the amount available for subsidising filmmaking under the law, a party lawmaker and its spokesman for cultural affairs said in a statement.
Istvan Ikotity and Csaba Komlosi seek an answer from the film fund and Andrew G. Vajna, the one-time Hollywood producer who is government commissioner for the country’s film industry, to their question.
The two LMP politicians said they would like to know “where the billions of forints earmarked in revenues from the tax on the national lottery have disappeared to, since, according to financial accounts, only a part has been provided for making films.”
