Публично благо ли е игралният филм, създаден изцяло или преимуществено с публични средства?
Is a Feature Film made Entirely or Partly with Public Funding a Public Good?

Summary/Abstract: Raising this issue is important for several reasons. First of all, settling it would give an answer to the following question: if it is a public good, is then a cost-benefit analysis, which is the main method of studying public financial return, applicable to the fate of a completed movie? Utility is the major criterion in public funds spending, so is it measurable in the case of Bulgarian feature film projects and is there an answer to the question what utility unit is implemented to measure a unit of invested public resource? On the other hand, to what a degree are the methods for allocating public funds consistent with the traditional legal and economical mechanisms for spending public money? Equally important is the question of holding the project’s authors accountable for appropriate spending as well as of the options for an ex post audit by the public institution involved.
