This is in addition to $340 million already committed to interactive digital media research and development. This initiative is part of the government's ongoing plan to attract the world's creative community to partner with Singapore media companies. Accordingly, the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) announced three of its new initiatives at the Cannes Film Market. The government's plan aims to provide the best environment for media business, while leveraging R&D to position Singapore at the leading edge of digital media. Emphasising the creation of new intellectual properties, as well as the formation of new digital media industries. The three initiatives outlined by the MDA include: The International Film Fund: (TIFF) Provided to Singapore-based production and post-production companies with the opportunity to executive produce and/or co-produce films of global appeal with international partners, MDA launched The International Film Fund (TIFF), the latest funding initiative which will encourage projects to be shot in and out of Singapore.. The fund will allow a contribution of up to $3.4 million per project, covering 17 to 20 projects ranging from animation, live-action features and post-production projects. MDA will take a share of the rights and revenues of the films as appropriate for its investment. The TIFF is in addition to $882 million of private equity investment in Singapore that is currently available to filmmakers. Stereoscopic 3D Development Fund: As a result of its inaugural 3DX Festival, a global gathering of the stereoscopic 3D filmed entertainment and technology sectors which took place last November, Singapore has earmarked $6.7 million for its stereoscopic 3D Development Fund. Under this fund, Singapore has committed to co-produce a slate of three 3D films, all of which will be in production by the end of March 2010, and which are being offered for pre-sale at Cannes. The first title of the slate is Amphibious, a science fiction adventure project to be directed by Brian Yuzna. Mediapolis @ one-north: Currently under-development, Mediapolis @ one-north is a state-of-the-art studio complex which offers sound stages, digital production, post-production, broadcast and distribution facilities. A colaboration between the Singapore Government and private sector investors, Mediapolis @ one-north will span 47 acres (19 hectares) and will serve as a catalyst for film, television, animation, video game and emerging new media production. In addition to the studio complex, the master plan for Mediapolis @ one-north includes research and development labs and work lofts as well as retail and recreation amenities and accommodations. http://www.indiantelevision.com/aac/y2k9/aac269.php (Jaisakthivel, Chennai, India) From Chandigarh to Chennai - find friends all over India.

After several days` absence, DGS was back on 11775, May 14 at 2132 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. As I was checking RFI on 17620 and 17630 before 2130 May 14, did not notice any RHC on 17660, scheduled in English until 2130. But at 2131 there it was, opening Kriyol as scheduled, distorted. What is RHC doing on such a high frequency to a neighboring country? It`s only about 720 miles from Habana to Port-au-Prince, and the optimum skip distance on 17+ MHz is longer than that --- except when sporadic-E may kick in unpredictably. But surely Arnie knows this basic propagational fact. 17660 is designated for the Caribbean in all its language services 2030-2300. It might be OK for the Windward Islands further away, and RHC does have much lower // 5965 for the two Creole broadcasts at 2130 and 2230, but for summer afternoons that may really be too low versus the absorption level. At 2133 I found 11760 with RHC in real French, scheduled at same time as Creole on 17660; while 11770, 11800, 13760 and 13790 were all in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [and non]. 11700, good signal in French at 0514 May 14, RFI Sport. Don`t usually hear this with Europe not propagating. Is 500 kW, 155 degrees from Issoudun, so directly off the back would be 155 + 180 = 335 degrees. Unseemed strike music fill at the moment. 17630, May 14 at 2123 with music unannounced except for ``RFI Musique`` interjexions, first a chanson in French and 2127 a Cuban ``mueve tu cuerpo`` rap in Spanish. Same music was running about two sesquiseconds behind on much weaker 17620. Normally these two, both Guiana French, would not be // as 17620 is 75 degrees in French at 17-22, missing from PWBR `2009`, while 17630 is Guiana French, 295 degrees in Spanish at 2100-2130 only. But this was strike fill-music, crossing language service boundaries, and at 2130, 17630 did cut off abruptly in mid-music while 17620 continued. KVOH was fair on 17775, but not super-strong, so its spur on 17630v was not audible before or after RFI was transmitting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 15110, REE with usual excellent signal direct from Noblejas, Thursday May 14 at 2109 with live program from studio 202 at Prado del Rey, YL host giving current timechex in UT, local and Canary time. It`s ``Otros Acentos``, firstly dedicated to the maestro of the vallenato of the Colombian coast, Rafael Escalona, who just died in Bogot?, with some of his lively music; then interview about hard of hearing problems, using FM transmitters as hearing aids, inviting phone calls to 91-512-04-58 or -02-42 or by e-mail; 2118 about the ``don`t forget your ears`` campaign. All in Castilian. According to the current schedule grid at http://www.rtve.es/files/70-14142-FICHERO/Parrilla_marzo_2009.pdf the accuracy of which is questionable, Otros Acentos is M-F at 21-22 in its first edition ---- but there is no ``second edition`` elsewhere on the schedule! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST) ** THAILAND. 9455, R. Thailand, at 1330 May 14 in Thai ID, the first day heard without that annoying het from off-frequency YFR via Taiwan, so maybe they have taken my advice and moved, but where?
