Movie policy weak By INA WARREN Canadian Press When Ronald Reagan was president of the American Screen Actors Guild in the 1960s, he claimed that 107 countries of the world discriminated against American films. Canada was not one of them. Almost 30 years later, Reagan is in the White House and Canada still gets gold stars for good behavior Of course, anyone listening to the bold promises of Canadian politicians and the ensuing protests of American senators might assume that Hollywood's fiefdom north of the border was being carved up. Not at all In 1985, the Film Industry Task Force reported that U.S. film distributors controlled 90 per cent of the Canadian market and 97 per cent of the distribution profits. Moreover, Canadian films in English and French take up only three per cent of screen time in Canada. This compares with 20 per cent for domestic films in Australia, 26 per cent in Britain and 49 per cent in France. So what do we hear from Ottawa? JUST SOUND From the government is heard merely the sound effects of a well-worn cultural opera about trying to wrest control of Canada’s film industry from Hollywood's grip The key player is powerful Hollywood lobbyist Jack Valenti, the pint-sized president of the Motion Picture Association of America. He speaks for “the Majors,” such Hollywood big guns as Columbia, Paramount and 20th Century-Fox, which have historically treated Canada as part of their North American domestic market Valenti has headed the association for 22 years, and during that time he has bested a string of Canadian éabinet ministers of various political stripes. In 1976, it was Liberal Secretary of State John Roberts who won the hearts of the Canadian film industry by proposing a 10-per-cent levy on distribution revenues to be reinvested in Canadian movies. Later that year, Roberts announced a watered down policy with no mention of a tax. He did, however, give more money to the Canadian Film Development Corp., Telefilm’s forerunner. WENT AS LION Director Peter Pearson, who was later to head Telefilm, put it this way: “Roberts went into cabinet with a lion of a film policy and came out with kitty litter.” Added Kirwin Cox, a film-maker and writer who at the time was head of the Canadian Council of Film-makers: “Ottawa is under the delusion that you can support Canadian culture without interfering with Lines Ltd. American control of the marketplace.” Roberts's successors, from Liberal Francis Fox to Tory Marcel Masse, have also promised to loosen Hollywood's grip in Canada. The latest to grab the limelight was Communi cations Minister Flora MacDonald, But in little more than a year, she has gone from being the Canadian film industry's tough heroine to a mere mortal politician. Last year, she announced she would bring in tough legislation licensing films. and videos imported into Canada and limiting American distributors to movies that they produced themselves or held world rights to. All other foreign films, including those made by American ind would be ilable only to Canadian distributors. Distribution fees are worth about $135 million a year in Canada, and Canadians now earn about 10 per cent of that. BIGGER SLICE Under MacDonald's proposal, it was estimated that Canada’s slice of the pie would grow to 23 per cent. The minister's speech got a five-minute standing ovation from industry representatives, prompting one distributor to observe: “I haven't seen anyone short of Robert Redford getting that kind of response.” But the policy made public by MacDonald earlier this month makes no mention of licences and places no restrictions on the nationality of distributors active in Canada Instead, Hollywood majors will be able to bid against Canadian distributors for Canadian rights to non-Hollywood movies. To help distributors here play against the big buys, MacDonald is providing a special distribution fund of $17 million a year for five years to be administered by Telefilm, the federal agency SOFTEN STAND The precise legislation and regulations have yet to be introduced, but it clearly seems to indicate backsliding on the tough talk of a year ago. Most critics assume MacDonald's prote: ist film policy just didn't fit in with Ottawa's desire 1 Maye a free-trade with the United States. But some analysts suspect if free trade wasn't the Treason, some other excuse would be found to explain why Canada once again has backed off from belling the Hollywood lion. Valenti had charged Ottawa's original proposal was unprecedented. Moreover, Hollywood feared if Canada were to introduce such legislation, there would be a domino effect elsewhere. In fact, almost every country has some kind of regulations — quotas, taxes or levies — to protect domestic film industries. Of course when Valenti is bleating about Canada’s protectionist proposals, he doesn't mention that in India, for example, Hollywood has had to conform to an onerous set of agreements to do business there.

The attraction, which allows fans to play the parts of the starship Enterprise crew, Klingons and other aliens, opened Thursday. Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, was an early visitor to the at- traction two weeks ago. The re- volving parts of the stage were working, but workers were scurry- ing to complete the 2,000-seat the- atre. On the stage, a Klingon stood on the bridge of his Bird of Prey space- ship and petted his Puppy Lizard. The stage turns to bring forward the bridge of the Enterprise, the engin- éering section, transporter room and the surface of the planet Akumal 7. Roddenberry, William Shatner and other actors from the television and movie series are scheduled to attend the opening. About 1,500 Trekkies — the first to respond to a mailing of 26,000 invitations sent to Star Trek fan clubs — were invited to the pre- miere performance. Leonard Nimoy, who plays Mr. Spock, is the only member of the original cast not expected at the opening. Nimoy is directing a movie in Canada. Star Trek first ran on NBC from 1966-69, then became one of the hottest shows in reruns. Paramount Studios has so far made four his Star Trek movies and the current Star Trek: The Next Generation has be- come a hit in syndication. “It still amazes me that ‘Star Trek’ has become a popular myth,” said Roddenberry. “I constantly tell my- self that I'm the same guy I was when I was trying to get a script assignment.” “I think if I've done anything well it's that I picked good people, gave them their head and didn't subject them to any criticism I wouldn't want myself.” He said that when he created the new TV show he wanted new char- acters. “The actors I was working with were too good for ‘hand-me- down’ characters,” he said. Is he satisfied with the success of the new show? “I'm never satisfied with any show T've produced,” he replied. [You always look at it and say, “Why didn't I do that?’ But in a sense I am better satisfied. I have more money to produce the show. The first year of Star Trek on NBC I had a budget of $184,000 per episode. That was $20,000 less than Mission: Impossible was getting. “But you don't get money for un- successful shows. The critics hit us when we first came out. The ratings were very low. I said, ‘Everyone's against us, so why don't we show ‘em!’ We cheated on the budget TUG-O-WAR . . .
