Arts Alliance Media (AAM) and Grupo Sade, owners of three cinemas
in San Sebastian, Spain, which are host venues for the San
Sebastian International Film Festival, announced a Virtual Print
Fee (VPF) agreement which will allow Grupo Sade to recover their
existing investment in digital-cinema equipment via AAM’s exhibitor
finance VPF model.
Grupo Sade has converted its three sites, Príncipe, Trueba and
Antiguo Berri (20 screens in total), to digital during the course
of the last year, reaching 100% digitization this summer.
Every cinema will install AAM's Theatre Management System software
“Screenwriter,” which will allow Sade to create and schedule its
playlists and manage all of its content in a fast and automated
way. The software will help the scheduling and transferring of
films during the San Sebastian Film Festival, a week during which
more than 100 prints circulate among these three cinemas. In
addition, AAM will install Arqiva satellite equipment for the
receipt of content via satellite (film and trailer DCPs,
advertising and live events).
Suministros Kelonik, Spain’s leading supplier of cinema technology
services and AAM’s Spanish integration partner, has installed all
Grupo Sade’s digital equipment and will also provide ongoing
maintenance from their Network Operations Center, in conjunction
with AAM's London-based NOC.
