Starting this Monday, November 9, the last week of the public consultation begins for the formulation of the National Cinematography Plan, a strategic roadmap drawn up for the next five years.

The initiative, promoted by the National Autonomous Center for Cinematography (CNAC), an entity attached to the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture, will keep the reception of proposals open until November 14.

The central objective of this participatory process is to adapt the operation of the Venezuelan audiovisual industry to new technological and economic schemes, such as the massification of streaming, the digitization of exhibition halls and labor transformations in the digital environment, within the framework of the National Cinematography Act and its regulations.

Filmmakers, technicians, creators and other participants in the audiovisual sector have the opportunity to add their contributions through the digital form available on the official social networks of the CNAC (@cnac_ve on Instagram and Threads, and @cnac_venezuela on X and Facebook), as well as in the face-to-face and virtual work tables.

The consultation addresses eight areas that are fundamental to the development of the sector. Axis 1 encompasses national creation, production and co-production for the strengthening of independent development and the industrial base. Axis 2 focuses on the international projection and positioning of Venezuelan cinema in global markets, festivals and platforms. For its part, axis 3 contemplates distribution, promotion and exhibition for the optimization of windows of commercial, independent and alternative circulation, while axis 4 addresses territorial development through funds and film commissions.

In addition, axis 5 addresses education, culture and heritage together with universities and film schools; axis 6 opens up the debate on financial and institutional sustainability, incentives and mixed models; axis 7 prioritizes labor rights and the social welfare of workers in the sector, and axis 8 promotes cultural diversity and freedom of creation in safeguarding the multi-ethnic and multicultural nature of the nation.

At the end of the deliberations in the working groups, the consolidated agreements will be presented at a public event as a demonstration of the institutional commitment to the collective construction of national cinematography.
