“We are delighted
by this new partnership, which combines Eclair's truly pan-European network for
theatrical delivery with Diagonal’s Filmservice.net, a fast-growing electronic digital
delivery service in Switzerland for feature DCPs and trailers,” explains Ymagis
Group President and Chief Executive Officer Jean Mizrahi. “Strong synergies are
expected from this agreement, which allows Eclair to service, through Diagonal,
distributors in the Swiss market as well as strengthen our position in Europe for
a cumulative total of 3,350 cinemas connected to our network to date.”
“It’s a great business
opportunity to be associated with Eclair while providing a turnkey solution in
our own territory through Filmservice.net, our fully automated DCP e-delivery
solution,” states Thomas Jörg, Managing Director of Diagonal. “The reliability
and versatility of our technology, proven by our capacity to deliver film
content to over 70% of all Swiss cinema sites, combined with our deep knowledge
of the market will ensure a successful partnership for years to come.”
