That Cultural Industry of the Balearic Islands This Monday you have the “task” of the sector by the government. In a statement, they said they feel “disappointed” with the executive of the Balearic Islands and in particular with the Ministry of European Funds, University and Culture for their considerations “lack of interest and political will” in the development of the industry.
inform the agency european press that the entities officially submitting this complaint are the Association of Filmmakers of the Balearic Islands (AKIB), the Federation of Performing Arts Companies of the Balearic Islands (sick scene), the Association of Music Producers of the Balearic Islands, the Balearic Delegation of the Association of Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media (ACIMA), the Association of Audiovisual Producers of the Balearic Islands (APAIB), the Association of Audiovisual Professionals of Ibiza (APAI) and Publishers of the Balearic Islands and the Association of Professional Actors and Actresses of the Balearic Islands ( Aaapib).
These groups believe that the Institute of Cultural Industries of the Balearic Islands (ICIB) is an initiative “Strongly planned, but poorly executed, with little budget and staff”, a fact that, as they noted, “the day-to-day operation and the definition of a strategy for the sector’.
As they denounced, “during this legislature, the government has not guaranteed that this institution has the functionality and structure to respond to the sector”. So they took that into account. The ICIB has no strategy nor is it operational,” a fact which, they add, “results in the lack of a stable calendar for spending resources and resolutions and in the non-disbursement of awarded and justified grants. sometimes for years.’
Similarly, the industry criticized that “the ICIB’s lack of budget and staff leads to the publication of underfunded tenders and the paralysis of management”. In addition, representatives of the cultural industry revealed “the lack of a real dialogue with the ICIB”, which “has no decision-making associations and does not regularly and periodically convene the advisory committees in which they participate”.
Finally, the sector criticized the fact that the government did not pass the law on cultural industries in this legislature, “an unfulfilled promise that would have served as an umbrella for its development”. “The consequences of all these events,” they complained, “are stagnant production, companies in debt and almost ruined by the lack of zeal of the ICIB, workers in a precarious situation, the impossibility of developing growth and internationalization strategies, as well as the lack of credibility of the sector outside the Balearic Islands».
Defending the existence of a “very talented” and “efficient” ICIB, the associations question why there is “this lack of real interest and political will” from the Balearic government in the cultural industry. They have since reflected: «In recent years, companies and employees have shown their talent and commitment, as well as their willingness to evolve to make better productions and be present on the national and international market, and that they must now be institutions that make true”, have an impact.
