Teema: Eesti ja Euroopa filmide müük Venemaa ettevõtetele Loodan, et Teil läheb hästi. Minu nimi on Xavier ja juhin mitut ettevõtet: üht Londonis asuvat filmiettevõtet ning kahte ettevõtet siinsamas Tallinnas (tegelevad renditeenuste, ühistööruumide jms-ga). Mu tütar on pooleldi eestlane. Tean, et puudutan teemasid, mida on Teiega juba arutatud Eesti filmitööstuse esindajate, sealhulgas Filmifondi kaudu. Mulle tegi eelmisel aastal muret asjaolu, et Eesti ettevõtted püüavad aktiivselt müüa filme Venemaale ning et Eesti filme müüakse Venemaale. See on murettekitav, kuna Venemaa levitajad nõuavad sageli ka õigusi SRÜ (endise Nõukogude Liidu) riikidele. Paljudel juhtudel nõutakse õigusi ka Ukraina territooriumile – mõnikord on see suisa osa kultuurisõjast. Olen koos Ukraina kolleegidega koostanud nimekirja filmidest, mida on toetanud programmi Creative Europe allprogramm MEDIA ja fond Eurimages. Selgus, et pärast Ukraina-vastase sissetungi algust on väga paljudele filmidele antud litsentsid Venemaa levitajatele. Koostame praegu Euroopa Parlamendile suunatud petitsiooni, milles palume kaaluda toetuste tagasinõudmise mehhanismi nende filmide puhul, mida on rahastanud Creative Europe, kuid millele on hiljem antud litsents Venemaal levitamiseks. Järgmise sammuna plaanime pöörduda sama palvega fondi Eurimages poole (nende veebilehel on küll olemas vastavad „suunised“, kuid neid eiratakse ilmselgelt). Kas oleksite valmis kaaluma selle petitsiooni ja laiema kampaania toetamist? Nagu teate, on Eesti eriti mures selliste filmilitsentside pärast, mis ohustavad riigi suveräänsust; seetõttu plaanin esimese asjana pöörduda ka teiste Balti riikide ministrite poole.

Teema: Eesti ja Euroopa filmide m=C3=BC=C3=BCk Venemaa = ettev=C3=B5tetele

Loodan, et Teil l=C3=A4heb h=C3=A4sti. Minu nimi on Xavier ja juhin = mitut ettev=C3=B5tet: =C3=BCht Londonis asuvat filmiettev=C3=B5tet ning = kahte ettev=C3=B5tet siinsamas Tallinnas (tegelevad renditeenuste, = =C3=BChist=C3=B6=C3=B6ruumide jms-ga). Mu t=C3=BCtar on pooleldi = eestlane.

Tean, et puudutan teemasid, mida on Teiega juba arutatud Eesti = filmit=C3=B6=C3=B6stuse esindajate, sealhulgas Filmifondi kaudu.

Mulle tegi eelmisel aastal muret asjaolu, et Eesti ettev=C3=B5tted = p=C3=BC=C3=BCavad aktiivselt m=C3=BC=C3=BCa filme Venemaale ning et = Eesti filme m=C3=BC=C3=BCakse Venemaale. See on murettekitav, kuna = Venemaa levitajad n=C3=B5uavad sageli ka =C3=B5igusi SR=C3=9C (endise = N=C3=B5ukogude Liidu) riikidele. Paljudel juhtudel n=C3=B5utakse =C3=B5igusi ka Ukraina territooriumile =E2=80=93 = m=C3=B5nikord on see suisa osa kultuuris=C3=B5jast.

Olen koos Ukraina kolleegidega koostanud nimekirja filmidest, mida on = toetanud programmi Creative Europe allprogramm MEDIA ja fond Eurimages. = Selgus, et p=C3=A4rast Ukraina-vastase sissetungi algust on v=C3=A4ga = paljudele filmidele antud litsentsid Venemaa levitajatele.

Koostame praegu Euroopa Parlamendile suunatud petitsiooni, milles palume = kaaluda toetuste tagasin=C3=B5udmise mehhanismi nende filmide puhul, = mida on rahastanud Creative Europe, kuid millele on hiljem antud = litsents Venemaal levitamiseks. J=C3=A4rgmise sammuna plaanime p=C3=B6=C3=B6rduda sama palvega fondi Eurimages poole (nende veebilehel = on k=C3=BCll olemas vastavad =E2=80=9Esuunised=E2=80=9C, kuid neid = eiratakse ilmselgelt).

Kas oleksite valmis kaaluma selle petitsiooni ja laiema kampaania = toetamist? Nagu teate, on Eesti eriti mures selliste filmilitsentside = p=C3=A4rast, mis ohustavad riigi suver=C3=A4=C3=A4nsust; seet=C3=B5ttu = plaanin esimese asjana p=C3=B6=C3=B6rduda ka teiste Balti riikide = ministrite poole.
