GREECE Agitation — In May, 1932 imports of films and motion picture theater equipment were subjected to an import quota system, as a part of the Greek Government's general policy of restricting imports. The annual quota for films was fixed at 5,600 kilograms, which represents a 45 per cent cut under actual 1931 imports. This amount was prorated among film importers during 1929-31. This arrangement virtually prevents new films from entering the film trade and confines the importation of films to those who were actually in the business during 192931. In spite of these restrictions, however, there has been no shortage of films. Censorship — Controlled by Public Morals Division of the Police Department. Existing regulations provide that children under 16 years of age may not be admitted to motion picture theaters unless the film shown has been approved by the censors as suitable both for chilaren and adults. Censorship is particularly strict as regards communistic propaganda. Competition — With the advent of talkies American films at first lost much of their former popularity, since English is not widely understood in Greece. With the introduction of "dubbed" versions, however, as well as films produced in Paris studios of American companies, American film producers regained the leading position. Society dramas and musical comedies, especially of the light operetta type, are particularly popular. German producers lead the market in the latter category. During the 1933-34 season (October-June) 248 feature films were exhibited in Greece, of which 57 per cent were American. Copyright Relations — On January 27, 1932, a reciprocal copyright protection agreement was signed between Greece and the United States, which became effective as of March 1, 1932. This agreement gives full protection to American films. Production — Negligible. There are no silent or talkie studios of any consequence. Taxes — For tickets costing up to 8 drachmas 25 percent ; over 8 drachmas, 30 percent. Theaters — There are in all about 122 motion picture theaters in Greece. A large number of outdoor theaters operate during the hot summer months, using equipment from indoor houses which close during the period for lack of airconditioning facilities. The aggregate seating capacity of all the regular theaters is estimated at about 75,000. There are six first-run houses in Athens totalling 8,500 seats. Sound— 107 theaters are now wired for sound. The equipment used in the provincial theaters is mostly assembled in Greece from imported or locally-made parts. Imports from U. S. A. — 1933— Positive Sound 387,699 ft. $7,323 1934 — First Ten Months: Positive Sound 395,894 ft. $7,122 1058
