The vice president of Portugal s national film institute ICAM abruptly resigned last weekend, launching accusations that ICAM could default on outstanding debt worth upwards of Euros 30m.In a three-page letter sent to the Ministry of Culture and cited in all of the country s major newspapers, the former vice president Jose Pedro Ribeiro said the institute was experiencing a  very serious  financial crisis which could lead it to default on monies owed to producers.Ribeiro s resignation came after the country s leading producer, Paulo Branco, publicly threatened legal action if ICAM did not settle outstanding funds owed his company, the Lisbon-based Madragoa Filmes.Pedro Berhan da Costa, president of ICAM, <a href=https://www.cup-stanley-cup.ca>stanley cup</a>  responded to Ribeiro s accusations, claiming the amount owed <a href=https://www.stanley-mug.us>stanley cup</a>  was closer to Euros 5m and would be paid off as soon as the institute received advertising revenues owed by broadcasters. Two-thirds of ICAM s budget comes by law from TV advertising revenues.In more positive news, producer-distributor Costa do Castelo plans to open director Leonel Vieira s ambitious Amazon-set film The Jungle wide in Portugal on November 1.  <a href=https://www.stanleymugs.us>stanley cup</a> The film has the support of public broadcaster RTP and private sponsorship from gas company GALP, and will be screened in major chains including AMC, Warner-Lusomundo and UCI.           No comments                                                     No comments yet                                            You re not signed in.                Only registered us Wgdi Fortissimo Eyes up horror sequel

A few months later, A Very English Scandal, the first fruit of its Sony Pictures Television-backed TV division under the auspices of 2016 hire Dominic Treadwell-Collins, proved a critically admired ratings hit. The 1940s-set The Guernsey Literary  Potato Peel Pie Society scored solid UK box office for Studio颅canal, making up for the relative disappointment earlier in the year with The Mercy.
