Culture Minister not planning to sack National Film Archive chief

The minister of culture, Daniel Herman, is not planning to accede to demands to dismiss the head of the National Film Archive, Michal Bregant. A group of cameramen have been in dispute with Mr. Bregant for some years over the NFA’s approach to digitising old Czech films. Responding to a letter from the cameramen and a number of directors, the Office of the Government said Mr. Herman was unaware of any reasons to dismiss the NFA chief. The cameramen, who are members of the Film and Television Union, posted the response on the association’s Facebook page.
