Dmitry Medvedev signed the Federal Law on Amendments to the Federal Law on State Support for Cinematography in the Russian Federation

December 30, 2009

The law provides for implementation and operation in Russia of a unified automated information system to track film screenings in cinemas. The system will allow for the protection of exclusive rights to audio-visual works and creation of a domestic film distribution market databank. The law also sets the requirements for putting a motion picture in the ‘national film’ category.

In addition, amendments were made to improve legal regulation in the film industry.
