Guardans takes reins at ICAA

by 

The first decisions taken by new ICAA director and former MEP Ignasi Guardans (see video interview) confirm his intention to reform and modernise the public organisation.

Firstly, he announced at an informal press meeting his plan to reform the funding system. Within ten days, a first draft is expected to be completed in which, among other things, legal Internet downloads will count towards amortisation funding (until now based solely on box office takings) and there will no longer be any distinction between project funding and that obtained from box office receipts.

Moreover, Guardans has appointed Rosario Alburquerque as deputy director-general of Promotion and International Relations, replacing Pilar Torre. Alburquerque will thus coordinate the ICAA’s international activities and act as its representative before European institutions such as the MEDIA Programme, Eurimages and European Film Promotion.
