to retreat. currently. It should have been discussed yesterday in the Culture Committee lAmendment to the Jubilee Decree Law, introduced in recent days by Liga deputies Igor Isi, Simona Bordonali, Laura Ravetto and Alberto Stefani — which aimed to change the structure and profession of an institution that is, together, a film school and a national film library, eliminating its top management two years ago — but was put on hold by the government. Suspended but not withdrawn. The pause also followed the mobilization of the center’s students in a permanent garrison since July 20, and the unconditional support of the big names in Italian cinema, many of whom are former students or teachers of the school. Directors, actors, editors, directors of photography, producers and screenwriters have stepped in with a letter in defense of the CSC’s independence. We understand and support the agitation put in place by the students due to the possible approval of the amendment proposed in the Jubilee Decree which greatly changes the nature of the CSC, a school that has graduated over the years many distinguished people in the film sector of our country and whose students continue to gain recognition in festivals all over the world … We are puzzled by the way the amendment was presented, in the middle of summer there must be a completely different decision … The regular course of teaching and activities of the Csc, which in November will host, among other things, the World Congress of Film Schools, an event that continued to work It’s already been there for some time.
