PACT and Websters to present conference on film finance

Websters Communications and Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT) are to present a one-day conference on finance for the film industry and benefits for the investor.

The conference will address the interests and needs of both the film industry and those who will benefit from investing in film production in one way or another.

The objectives of the conference will be to: explain the structure and principles involved in financing film production; provide a background to investing in films; give a clear explanation of the various tax-based film financing products available; explain the regulatory and accounting aspects; and to review the possibilities of change in fiscal regulation.
