BULGARIA'S GOVERNMENT GRANTS 440 000 LEVA FOR NATIONAL FILM ARCHIVE RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION

Thu, Nov 01 2007 13:32 CET 685 Views

The Bulgarian Government granted an additional 440 000 leva to the budget of the Ministry of Culture for 2007. The money would be used to finance the long-term programme for restoration of the Bulgarian National Film Archive's film fund, a press statement from the Council of Ministers said.

390 000 leva will be used for the restoration, conservation and transferring of the remaining part of the nitrate film archive to new storage media. This is necessary as the nitrate film reel is not only flammable and self-igniting, but it is decomposing.

The remaining 50 000 leva will be used to transfer the most precious part of the Bulgarian National Film Archive's documentary archive to modern storage media in order for it to be permanently stored and accessible for use.

The money is provided by restructuring the target expenditures in the central budget for 2007.
