    What's up in 2015 ?

    2015 is bringing novelties for ED members:

    Cidinet integrated to Cinando
    It was announced, it is happening: our database Cidinet is now integrated to CINANDO, offering even more info on releases.
    Based on a collaborative and participative approach, this database enables distributors to have access to what their colleagues have developed in other countries for their releases (posters, trailers, figures,…) and to facilitate exchange of material.
    New industry partnership with Distrify Media
    We're very happy to announce you our partnership with DISTRIFY MEDIA, the online tools provider that enables you to make your own VOD platform. More details on this partnership and its advantages for ED members will be announced in Berlin.

    AUSENCIA (awarded in Toulouse 2014) is selected in Berlin 

    In March 2014, the Distributors and Exhibitors Prize from Cine en Construccion (Toulouse) went to AUSENCIA by Chico Teixera. Our members Carlo Dias (Amstel Film) and Harald Baur (Arsenal Filmverleih) were part of the jury.

    Almost a year later, we're glad to learn that AUSENCIA is selected for Berlin's Panorama and congratulate our members for their smart intuition when they discovered the film as a work in progress.

    Note that this year again, Cine en Construccion will invite two members from Europa Distribution to award the Distributors and Exhibitors Prize.
