President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner defended “public and popular programmes” designed for the artists who run their projects with the Government’s support. Through a series of tweets the President acknowledged successful release of the film “Looking for the commander Andresito” that was funded by INCAA in the province of Corrientes.
Her reaction, she said, was sparked by a thank you letter sent to INCAA director Liliana Mazure, currently running for national lawmaker for Victory Front (FPV) by one of the film’s producers.
The President blasted the «ongoing criticism in the media,» saying that people don’t go to the movies to see Argentine films. «Over 700 tickets were sold in the first three hours,» she concluded.
