Proposal Calls for "Transparency" in Japan's Film Support Policy: Producer of "TOKYO VICE" Points Out Issues
Published
The producer of the drama "TOKYO VICE" has proposed that Japan's film support policy needs to be reformed. The core of the proposal is "increasing the transparency" of the support system.
According to reports, this policy sets conditions for works eligible for support. Animated works must have a production cost of 600 million yen or more, and live-action works must have a production cost of 800 million yen or more.
Looking at the production cost conditions, live-action works are required to meet a higher amount than animated works. It is considered necessary to provide a clear explanation of the standards by which eligible works are determined.
Because support for the film industry is funded with national money, some argue that it is important to make public the content of the support and the process of decision-making. The proposal calls for enabling outside parties to check the contents of the system.
This information is based only on part of the article. Details of the proposal and the overall picture of the policy can be confirmed in the original article. Attention is now focused on how the review of the system will proceed.
