As part of the task of ordering, the Cuban Institute of Art and Film Industry (ICAIC) joins the process of transforming tariffs, informed the Cubacine portal Tania Delgado, vice president of the cultural institution.

According to Delgado, the rates are invariable, as in the specific case of project 23, but may change in other provinces, as set by their administrations.

Project Director 23, Irinka Cordoví, explains that these changes to the services they provide are covered by Resolution 328/20 issued by the Ministry of Finance and Prices and approved by ICAIC President Ramón Samada and Minister of Culture Alpidio Alonso.

The price of admission, he said, to 2D cinema functions increases to 5 CUP in all cinemas. Prices for access to 3D functions are 15 CUP for children under 12 and 25 CUP for adults.

Regarding the performances for children and circus, the prices are 20 CUP for children and 30 CUP for adults; musical performances, full of humor and other performances vary from 100 to 150 CUP, depending on the level and quality of the artists; and other services in Project 23 will have a value of 25 CUP per person.

For Cordoví, the increase in prices implies a better functioning in theaters and cinemas, which will be reflected in a commitment to elements such as hygiene and setting, the quality of programming, as well as excellent treatment of assistants.

“We know that for several years the public presence at cinemas has decreased. The country’s cultural policy calls us to save the magic of the darkroom. Our reason for being is the film exhibition, for this reason in the strategy we propose to strengthen the dissemination and promotion of our programming, as well as to create a web page of Project 23, if we consider the scope of social networks and its importance. represents today, “he said.
