Colombo, April 20 -- U.S. experts joined four Sri Lankan film professionals in a panel discussion about how effective film distribution benefits Sri Lanka's movie industry, artists, and audiences on March 30 at Hatch, a workplace for entrepreneurs.
Speaking at the event, U.S. Ambassador Alaina B. Teplitz said. "One of our core beliefs is freedom of speech, and movies are one of the most powerful ways that we can share our stories with each other. Strong and transparent laws that protect film distribution will ensure that Sri Lankan creatives will drive economic growth, are paid fairly, and can share Sri Lanka's stories with the world."
