Reform the National Film Corporation and establish a National Film Institute.

Why this status
Cabinet approved instructions to draft a Bill repealing the National Film Corporation Act and creating a National Cinema Council with modern regulatory and cinema-promotion functions. That is substantial, official progress on reforming the Corporation, but the Bill is not yet an enacted reform and the evidence does not show a National Film Institute has been established.
