Financing Options
Arts Alliance Media has several options to help cinemas convert to digital.
Our flexible financing options allow us to work with exhibitors to find the best
solution for them, whether funded by AAM or exhibitor-financed.
AAM was the first company in Europe to secure deals with Hollywood studios, and now has deals in place with all
6 studios to fund digital cinema rollout of up to 7500 screens, under a Virtual Print Fee financing model. We can also help
cinemas who wish to purchase digital cinema equipment outright. For more information on this,
and on equipment financing, please contact us.

Virtual Print Fee (VPF) Model
Digital cinema reduces print costs. As the Hollywood studios and local distributors get most of the cost savings, the
VPF model was introduced essentially to transfer the savings made by distributors to
pay for the exhibitor’s equipment.
A third party sits between exhibitors and distributors to put the structure in place, install equipment, monitor usage and manage the
flow of money
VPF manager
AAM develops the most sophisticated and robust VPF manager on the market.
