Instead of defining a foreign film, the present regulations specify the constitution of a domestic film. All dubbing of foreign films must be done in Germany ; and the number of dubbed films to be imported shall not exceed SO per cent of one's contingent licenses. The allocation of permits may be refused for films whose producers continue to distribute on the international market films having an anti-German tendency. Censorship — All pictures are censored under a law passed in 1920. Censorship control is vested in the authorities in Berlin and Munich and their decisions are binding in all Germany. From time to time anti-censorship movements occur but none have been successful so far. It is still obligatory that a performance of foreign films, before they are distributed in Germany, must be given to the parties concerned. The decisions of the censor remain the same. Competition — 237 feature films were censored for release during 1931-1932. Of these 139 were German, 62 American, 21 French, and 15 were of scattered origin. 300 feature films were censored during the previous year, of which 139 were German, 101 American and 26 French. The German market is now definitely on a sound basis, there being no demand for silent product. Copyright Relations — Established by Presidential Proclamation April IS, 1892. extended April 9, 1910, December 8, 1910, and May 25, 1922. Production — Counting original and foreign versions, 164 features were turned out during the calendar year, 1931, as compared with 193 during the previous calendar year. It is calculated that 1932 will show a further falling off, although foreign production interests (American included) are becoming increasingly active in Germany. Taxes — So-called high motion picture prices in Germany are attributed to the entertainment tax created July 10, 1926, which takes 40,000,000 marks annually from the German industry. This tax approximates 15 per cent of the gross and is generally absorbed by the film renter. Theaters — Today Germany has about 5,071 theaters. Sound — It is estimated that 3.700 cinemas are now wired for the reproduction of sound. Imports from U. S.
