Overseas. 591 Federal District charge from 0.20 to 1.50 pesos (approx. 3d. to 2s.). Percentages of films exhibited in Mexico are as follows : U.S. 80 per cent. ; Mexico 12.5 per cent. ; Argentina 5 per cent. ; French, British and other films 2.5 per cent. Censorship : This is controlled by the Ministry of the Interior, to whom films must be submitted before exhibition anywhere in the country. There are four classifications: "A" — suitable for adults, adolescents and children; "B" — suitable for adults and adolescents ; " C " — suitable for adults only; "D" — suitable for exhibition under special circumstances only. The latter must have a special authorisation for each showing. Import duty on films with Spanish dialogue is fixed at 8 pesos per kilogram (approx. 10s.), whereas that on films with English dialogue is fixed at 20 pesos per kilogram, (approx. £1 53..). Present quota legislation requires each kinema to reserve one third of its annual screen time for Mexican films. The only new legislation in the film industry announced during 1947 was a regulation of the Actors' Section of the Sindicato de la Produccion that no foreign actors will be allowed to work in Mexico unless they are under contract. Production : Mexico has 9 film studios, which provide facilities for 29 producing companies. The Credito Cinema tografico Mexicano (Mexican Film Bank) was formed with Government backing and with a capitalisation of about 15 million pounds sterling to strengthen Mexican production. It set a ceiling on production costs with a view to keeping down the rapidly rising expenditure. Guidance and supervision of production is entrusted to the National Film Commission, which was recently endorsed by the President of Mexico. TRADE ASSOCIATIONS.
