In this thread it is mentioned that maybe public funding reached von Trier's Porn Production Company Innocent Pictures.

Is public funding used in the Czech Republic and in Hungary?
I mean it wouldn't be surprising since the industry provides jobs.

OTOH, I am aware of that there was a debate or rather an outrage in some tabloids in Germany about why a culture festival got city or provincial government funding.
At the festival was the experimental theater group "La Fura Dels Baus". In their performance they used sex videos which were shown on screens.
This was not really the tabloid's problem (maybe they think artists are just crazy).
The problem was that the group got sponsorship from Private when they travelled from festival to festival and for the production of the performance.

(Philharmonic Orchestras also get sponsorship from various enterprises and do play at festivals with public funding, but maybe I was just too stupid to get the difference).

I'm curious about this as well, since it's not something that I can imagine happening here in the US. Can you just see National Endowment for the Arts funding Cum-Burping Teenage Fuckholes #9?

Then again, who's to say that CBTF #9 isn't art?
