So, we've now got cinema corpfare! Fourth Reich meddles in cinema! Some 35 film-related projects are to receive funding from the stupidus MEDIA Mundus program – the European Union's international cooperation and exchange stupid program for the audiovisual industry. The projects will help to strengthen the distribution of European films in non-European markets and vice-versa. http://venitism.blogspot.com
The permanent political class enriches itself at the expense of the rest of us. Cinema corpfare is disgusting! Corpfare is corporate welfare, such as subsidies, bailouts, and monopolies, granted by government to davajides, pimps of kleptocrats. Corpfare is like steroids, it may look attractive in the short run, but it cripples you in the long run!
Corpfare destroys the level playing field that free markets depend on, creates a corrupt relationship between government authority and special interests, transforms corps to corpses, and is unconstitutional. Even loans by government-sponsored entities constitute another form of subsidy.
Zombiecorps, zombie corporations, badly in need of structural reform, but kept alive by state subsidies, badly hamper growth. At least four trillion euros are wasted on corpfare worldwide every year.
Venitis Law of Democracy: Every democracy is eventually hijacked by rabblerousers, pullpeddlers, clans of kleptocrats, bumptious bugaboos, busybodies, butterbabies, nabobs of nepotism, cranks of cronyism, pusillanimous pussyfooters, riffraffs of rascals, socialist sophists, and Machiavellian mafiosi. Democracy tends to kleptocracy. Anarchy should replace democracy.
A sensitive issue cannot be fully explained in a post, but only in a speech, in that magic eyeball to eyeball contact, baring my soul, and declaring truths that cause shock and awe. That's why I look forward to the invitation of your organization to speak at your conference. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com
Androulla Vassiliou hoodwinks that everyone loves to see good films in the cinema and on TV. Stupidus MEDIA Mundus – the global version of stupid MEDIA program – encourages international co-productions, boosts worldwide distribution and makes the audiovisual industry more bewildering. The idea is to give audiences more choice and the chance to see films made all over the world, squandering taxpayers' hard-earned money.
Anticorpfarists are very interesting. It's true that 99% of citizens do not enjoy the special benefits of corpfare. Corpfare is very different from capitalism. In corpfare, government hands out special favors and protections to politically well-connected businesses. The TARP bailouts, Solyndra, and the military-industrial complex are all facets of corpfare.
Cinema corpfare facilitates the release of European films on prominent internet video platforms in the US and Canada. It also helps North American film-makers to access European counterparts.
EYE ON FILMS - This is a global network of distributors and festivals which distribute debut feature films in more than 20 countries.
DOCSTORIES - A training workshop which aims to develop creative documentary projects and innovative non-fiction programmes in the Black Sea region (Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Armenia). Docstories will also create a network to encourage the circulation of documentaries and exchange of best practices.
Capitalism is the opposite of corpfare. Capitalism is where the government leaves businesses alone, does not attempt to pick winners and losers, does not stifle competition, does not hand out favors, and does not absolve businesses of liability for their actions. Our mixed economy does not resemble capitalism at all.
The film landscape has changed significantly over the past two decades, due to the impact of technological developments such as multi-channel digital television, digital cinema and video-on-demand.
It's unfortunate that so many businesses today go to kleptocrats begging for handouts and special favors. The real problem is the kleptocrats who choose to give those favors, at everyone else's expense. We hope anticorpfarists will start to direct their anger away from Wall Street and big businesses, and toward kleptocrats, who have done so much to destroy capitalism and entrench corpfare.
The stupidus MEDIA Mundus program funds projects encouraging mobility and exchanges between European film-makers and their counterparts around the world.
Kleptocracy has clearly figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us based solely on their position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the table, you are in for a feast. If you don't have a seat at the table, you are on the menu. Throw them all out!
Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of organizational climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation. I would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical points much further. Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com
The Commission's proposed Creative Europe stupid program, due to start in 2014, envisages allocating billions of euros for stupid MEDIA and stupidus MEDIA Mundus activities. The final budget will be decided by the European Parliament and Member States. http://venitism.blogspot.com
