Modern sound recording studio will be created in
Ukraine to record sound and dub foreign films in Ukrainian.
“We already have quite sufficient base of dubbing and subtitling
for broadcasting movies on TV channels, for example “1+1”, but there is no any
studio for dubbing foreign films for distribution,” Anna Chmil, director of
State cinema service, told Wednesday at a press conference in Kyiv.
According to her, within the frameworks of the
memorandum among Culture Ministry and film distributors on observation of the language
legislation, the state promises to assist in creating technical base for
dubbing foreign films. State budget for 2007 provides for ten million hryvnias
for purchase of equipment, which will be located in Dovzhenko’s National cinema
studio.
Chmil also informed that the biggest film distributors,
such as B&H Film Distribution, will invest about ten million UAH more to
create modern sound recording studio on the basis of Dovzhenko’s studio.
According to the director of State cinema service, the
studio is planned to be opened by the end of the year 2007, and in future it
will process up to 300 films annually, what is enough for the Ukrainian market.
At the same time, Chmil reported that she has information
that some foreign companies, an American and an Italian in particular, plan to
build film production studios o the territory of Ukraine.
Answering journalists’ questions, Chmil informed that
in 2007 it is planned to produce 14-16 films of Ukrainian production and a few cartoons.
