Insurance scheme for artistes
By Ranjith Bandara Attanayake
Sri Lanka National Film Corporation is to present insurance policies to artistes and technicians in the film field, who had contributed their services to three or more Sinhala films.

Under this programme Rs. 100,000 (Hundred Thousand) will be donated for Medical Aid, Rs. 200,000 on an occasion of the demise of an artiste and Rs. 350,000 if an artiste dies following an accident.

In addition, all films produced and screened in Sri Lanka will be preserved in a specially constructed laboratory which will be able to print new copies of Sinhala films adopting 'Deug' technology system. New copies can be printed using damaged film negatives through this technology. 'Sarasavi' film studio at Dalugama will be affiliated to 'Prasad' movie laboratory, Madras as an integrated studio service for fifteen years.

Moreover, steps are underway to acquire Elphinstone Threatre, Maradana by the Sri Lanka National Film Corporation and screen films regularly for public. Lido Theatres in Colombo and Wembley Theatre in Kandy and another film theatre from each main city will be taken over by the National Film Corporation Circuit.

Steps will be taken to limit the number of foreign films imported by the private sector to protect the screening duration of local films up to 60 percent. Accordingly, private companies will be permitted to import only 100 English, 45 Tamil, 15 Hindi films and 10 other films per year. When importing films under 'Adults only' label it should not exceed 25%.

A film Festival of old Sinhala films too will be held sponsored by the Film Corporation from 22-11-2002 to 28-11-2002 to raise funds for the Welfare Insurance Scheme intended for film artistes and technicians.

A ceremony will be held to present these Insurance Policies to the first batch on October 1, at Mahanama Vidyalaya in Kollupitiya at 6 p.m.

'Who's The Boss'
Being a father is tough, being a single father is even tougher. One who doubles as a live-in housekeeper is tougher still. But handling these responsibilities in a household where your boss is also your best friend makes up for it... on "Who's the Boss?"

Several years ago Tony Micelli's (Tony Danza) world was turned upside down when an injury forced his early retirement from major league baseball, and his beloved wife passed away. Not one to give up, Tony was determined to put his life back on the track and prove he could earn a living and raise his then pre-teen daughter, Samantha (Alyssa Milano) like any other loving, conscientious parent.

Coincidently, Angela Bower (Judith Light) was having problems of her own in suburban Connecticut. A high powered executive, she was leading a frenetic life - too chaotic to simulataneously pursue a career, run household and properly raise her seven-year-old son, Jonathan.

To make matters worse, Angela's household skills were modest, to say the least. While it took some convincing by Angela's free-spirited, mischievous live-in mother, Mona Robinson, Angela realized the solution to her problem and the answer to Tony's dilemma were one and the same.

Thursdays at 9.30 p.m. on MTV starting from October 3
