which has been part of film history for more than 100 years,” explains Jean

Film Cinemas will strengthen our Northern European operations while

another big step in our strategy to increase our market share in Scandinavia,
built on existing and similar service agreements in Denmark for 21 sites (148
screens), and our partnership with our technical partner in Norway, Kino &
AV Teknikk, concluded last year. We aim to provide the highest level of
customer service, monitoring and support for the 78 Nordisk cinema screens through
our customer service (NOC) with local assistance from our own field technicians.
It’s a privilege for us to work with Nordisk.”
