The EAP, CEL, MPI and LFD film circuits filed action in courts today, following a decision taken by the National Film Corporation recently to take over local film distribution with immediate effect.
The decision to offer film distribution to the private sector was taken in 1999, following a Presidential Committee recommendation which alleged that the inefficiency of the NFC had resulted in the downfall of the Sinhala cinema industry.
