The most important kinema circuit is the Circuito Venezolano de Cines with 25 houses. The Carcel y Muro circuit has 4 first-run houses in the capital. Admission prices : First-run theatres in racas, the capital, charge from 0.50 to 3.25 bolivars (approx. 3s. iod.) ; Second-run andother theatres in Caracas, 0.25 to 1.25 bolivars. In other big cities prices range from 0.25 to 2.50 bolivars. Censorship : A new Council was formed during the year to censor all films on moral and political grounds. Customs duties : These vary according to the value of the film and the duty ic paid on the gross weight. Film material on which duty has to be paid is classified as follows : prints, photographic propaganda material and posters. So far no restrictions on foreign films have been imposed. Production : Venezuela Films, a new company, began work in the studios of Atlas Films de Venezuela, the only major studio in the country. During 1947 one feature film was produced by Producciones Gilca, a unit of Venezuela Films. Otherwise production is limited to newsreels and documentaries only. The main producers in this field are Bolivar Films, with studios in Caracas, who began production during 1947. A programme for the showing of education films in schools was instituted by the Venezuelan Ministry of National Education some years ago, but owing to lack of funds this programme was never fully developed. The Government produced three educational films of good quality, but the studios in which they were made have since shut down and nothing further has been done in respect of educational films. — H.
