AUSTRIA
LEGISLATION
During 1937. the system of granting "Vormerkscheine" to pay for presentation permits issued by the provincial authorities continued in force with regard to sound feature films and sound short films. On January 30, 1937, however, new film regulations were issued. On the whole, the wording of these is practically the same as that of the old ones, but the few alterations made are of great importance. To stimulate domestic production, the supplier of a sound film apparatus used in the production of a domestic feature film which has been approved by the competent authorities received 4 additional "Vormerkscheine" which are transferable and form the basis for the issuance of exhibition permits. The exhibition permits issued for a film are valid as a rule for all copies. If a feature film is exhibited in several installments, each part of such film is regarded as a whole film. A maximum of 12 Vormerkscheine will be issued for each domestic feature sound film, 1.5 Vormerkscheine each for domestic short films, and 3 Vormerkscheine each for cultural short films for compulsory exhibition.
Vormerkscheine are not required for domestic sound films of all kinds, for imported bits used in Austrian news reels, or for "trailers" or advance sample of coming features. Domestic advertisement films must comply with the special regulations covering the showing of such film.
If the producer of an Austrian feature film sells such a film in foreign customs territory at a fair price, or if such a film is duly shown abroad, the Film Bureau is authorized to issue as an export premium additional Vormerkscheine as authorized for that purpose by the Ministry of Commerce. These Vormerkscheine remain at the disposal of the Film Bureau and may be used only for the exhibition of films from the same foreign customs territory. This authorization may be granted only once for each feature film.
The granting of Vormerkscheine is restricted by the limitation that the film must be shown to the Film Council before it is exhibited in public.
