publish below a letter from President of SACT, Daniel Cesarano . Daniel explains why the SACT is not a party to the movement of 100Autori joins forces .
"Last July, the movement of SACT 100Autori joins forces with churches and other associations of authors, to aid in the construction of one large association which encompassed both the directors that the writers of TV and cinema, an organization unit in able to respond more forcefully to the urgent problems of the sector.
The Board of SACT after careful consideration, he answered with a polite "no thanks", but reviving a proposal for federation the association between nascent and existing ones. But the idea of \u200b\u200bthe federation movement 100Autori joins forces seemed to be ineffective. So we left with a generic "let's meet in common battles, but otherwise each in his own way."
Today 100Autori joins forces become binding and are sending e-mails with requests to join also to our members. To me this seems right to remind members of the SACT because we refused to join the new association .
In the western world there are associations that are characterized by professional identities: the writers with the writers, directors with directors. There are mixed groups. This is because our colleagues have found it necessary to focus on specific issues that distinguish each category, considering the identity of an association and its strength not its weakness .
But their division has never prohibited to associations of different categories to make common battles battles or just for solidarity. Who does not recalls during the last strike of the Writer's Guild of America, or of American writers, the concrete solidarity of American actors and directors.
To these considerations it is often argued that Italy is a country and for this reason atypical unit is required of all authors - writers and directors - to try to change the existing reality.
E 'objection that I disagree, because I think that unity among the authors can be found on specific items without having to merge into one group, che dovrà per forza mediare su interessi diversi e spesso divergenti. Ci sono cose che ci uniscono ma ci sono cose che ci dividono dai registi. Sarebbe sbagliato pensare che non sia così.
La SACT è nata con lo scopo di promuovere e difendere tutti gli scrittori di cinema e televisione, senza distinzione di genere o di fama. Ed è questo che vuole continuare ad essere: l’associazione degli sceneggiatori italiani. Focalizzata sui problemi della scrittura nel mondo dell’audiovisivo.
Convinta, ora più che mai, che solo un’associazione di categoria con una chiara identità, e senza obblighi di sintesi di interessi diversi – come quelli tra sceneggiatori e registi - può affect the reality of our job as writers . Not that this prevents power find common battles with neighboring groups such as the directors.
It is for these reasons that we are not incorporated in the new association of 100Autori joins forces.
It is for this reason that I do not enroll their association.
Daniel Cesar "
