New Delhi:
Filmmaker Martin Scorsce, Jane Campion and Wes Anderson are one of the signs of an appeal to prevent the danger that a large part of Rome’s film theaters can be converted into shopping centers and supermarkets under the proposed regional law.
Last month, Asset Management firm Colliers Global Investors and WRM Capital won the Rome Real Estate Bankruptcy Auction. He bought nine movie theater for a reported Eur50 million ($ 52 million), which increased concerns about the future of the city’s theaters, reported by the variety.
Some of these features, such as the city’s central cinema Adriano multiplexes, are completely active, while others are long closed. It is believed that the person behind the fund is considered to be the Italian-Bitish Financer Refeel Minsion.
Meanwhile, a new regional piece of law is being drafted – and this week is for approval – which will remove the criteria that currently prevent the Rome Movie Theater from turning into any other type of business, in addition to a cultural location.
Over the weekend, Scorscs responded to a call to help Rome’s Cinema America Group, which oversees the city’s largest open-air film festival and popular cinema trustee orthoush site, issued an open letter inspired by architect Renjo Piano and appealed to the top leaders of the country.
“As Renzo Piano clearly reflects the current position in Rome, it is clear that the attempt to reproduce places to re -introduce places to the potential cultural rearnament of the eternal city in hotels, shopping centers and supermarkets is completely unacceptable,” wrote by Scorses. “Such a change will represent an irreversible disadvantage: a deep sacrifice not only for the rich history of the city but also for the cultural heritage for future generations.”
Scholars’ petition continued, “We ask our colleagues around the world to sign this letter to the directors of the festival and all the cultural operators, who signs this letter to save the last chance to redeem one of the most important cultural and artistic cities around the world. ‘Places capable of nurturing the souls of both present and future generations in the true temples of culture. “
Valerio Karosi, president of Rome’s Cinema America Collectorate, shared that the proposed law also “invite owners of active movie theaters to shutter so that they can do so that they can do [also] “And increase their real estate price.” Therefore, it is a death sentence for future generations of Rome, “said Karosi.
