As part of National Film Day, actor Leonardo Sbaraglia spoke with “Chiqui” Abecasis and Susana Manzelli in long live the radio for Chain 3 Rosaryand maintained that they are going through a “complex” scenario while waiting for “a law that would do great harm to cinema to be repealed.”
The actor refers to the tax reform approved by Congress, specifically art. 4 of Law 27,432, which discontinues the Fund for the Promotion of National Cinematographic Activity.
“We have a forceful cinema because that background exists, and it has nothing to do with more or less people going, but rather the quality of Argentine cinema and filmmakers. It is what allows there to be research, it does not only go through the rules of the market, ”he argued.

And he continued: “I am in favor of this fund and everything that can help people to do their experiments, their things. Obviously with a committee that decides what is done, what is not done. There must be a criterion”.
Sbaraglia said that he has been “since October non-stop, making three films” at work.
“The last one we finished in Ushuaia, a couple of weeks ago. They were three precious experiences. Now, Let’s see what’s next for my life and my artistic work”, he counted.
Asked about the possible impact of the growth of the platforms in the industry, the interpreter avoided stating that they “attempt against the cinema.”
“The platforms have come to replace open television a little, it caught my attention to see the Martín Fierro with fewer fiction categories and more categories of the ‘best panelist’ style. I have nothing with them, nowadays entertainment is less and less fiction. There is something that is happening on the platforms, the business basically”, he reflected.
