"European cinema is currently facing one of its greatest challenges: coping with the requirements of modern technology. The audiovisual sector is inseparably tied to the new challenges of the digital era, which has repercussions for the production, distribution and accessibility of European cinema. In the face of increasing production of digital films, as well as increased public demand for films made using 3D technology, we have witnessed an acceleration of the process of cinema digitisation in recent years, entailing costs for the sector’s producers and cinema owners, since they must provide for compliance by the analogue and digital sectors. I therefore believe adequate support for the process of cinema digitisation to be important, both from the Member States and from the Structural Funds.
Let us not forget that European cinema, alongside the economic benefits it brings, plays a key role in terms of culture and society, and in terms of developing a European cultural identity. It should, however, respond to and preserve programming diversity and the cultural facilities of the EU, and should not result in the closure of small and art-house cinemas to the benefit of multiplexes. Innovation must be at the service of cultural heritage, rather than the other way around."@en1
