Concern about the capacity

Beyond the good news of the return of the cinema, there are some differences that generate some concern in the sector.

This was what the lawyer Horacio Grinberg made known, representative of the Argentine Chamber of Independent Film Distributors (CADICI).

The lawyer assured that, although the return is seen with "hope", He also indicated concern and mainly that resides in the difference in capacity that occurs between the City of Buenos Aires and the province.

In that context, the first will be able to shelter the 30 percent of its total capacity, while the province will have the 50. Esta decisión conllevará a que “la mayor parte de los cines de diversidad no vayan a abrir porque no le van a dar los números”, causing "multiscreens to bet only on Hollywood tanks".

Grinberg's statements were made during a talk with the TELAM agency, where he added that "independent cinema, Argentine and diverse will continue to be the victim. As a friend says, ‘When elephants make love, the injured party is grass’ and we become grass ”.

Thanks to the return confirmation, the AMBA joins the rooms that were already open in - in addition to Córdoba- The Pampa, Jujuy, Mendoza, Chubut, Land of Fire, Between rivers, Chaco and Corrientes.
