Southern Europe                                          View in French

 

Arts Alliance Media (AAM), Europe’s leading provider of digital distribution services, has announced the opening of a new office in Paris, which will be the headquarters of the company’s digital cinema operations for Southern Europe. The new office will cover territories including France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and will support AAM’s European-wide commercial digital cinema rollout.

Gwendal Auffret has been appointed to lead the operations of the new base. Auffret, who was previously CEO of Éclair Digital Cinema, will work with a team based in Paris to coordinate installation and operation of DCI-compliant digital cinema equipment in cinemas across Southern Europe, as well as negotiating with distributors and exhibitors across the region. The base will provide local support and expertise for AAM’s planned future growth and expansion of operations, following the agreement of Virtual Print Fee (VPF) deals with studios and exhibitors. The first exhibitor deal was signed in November 2007, with Circuit Georges Raymond, following studio deals signed in 2007/2008 with Fox, Universal, Paramount, Sony and Disney.

The first phase of the 400 screen CGR Rollout is underway - the first all-digital multiplex in France was installed in Spring 2008.
