Question 14297 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Mr. Bertrand Bouyx alerts the Minister of Culture to the concerns of independent cinema operators about the future audiovisual reform bill expected for spring 2019. Although favorable to a regulatory change linked to the recent emergence of new platforms, two points focus the expectations of operators: the possible evolution of the media chronology and the expansion of the tax on admissions to cinema theaters (TSA) to ancillary revenues such as advertising or confectionery. As reminders the information report submitted a few weeks ago by the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education at the conclusion of the work of the fact-finding mission on a new regulation of audiovisual communication in the digital age, the media chronology is one of the central mechanisms of French audiovisual regulation. An inseparable link in the French cultural exception and its cinematographic production among the most prolific in the world, this chronology contributes to the maintenance of artistic diffusion fairly distributed across the territory. This is the reason why cinema operators are particularly attached to its maintenance. As part of the preparation of the bill planned cited above, he asks what guidelines will be aimed at protecting independent cinemas which constitute a cultural wealth and a factor of social bond, particularly in rural areas.
