European cinema innovation project Cinnovate has received €380,000, equivalent to about $453,000 USD, through the European Union’s program “Cinemas as Innovation Hubs for Local Communities.”
Cinnovate will be a new digital platform from four of Europe’s arthouse cinema chains: Folkets Hus och Parker (Sweden), Folkets Bio (Sweden), Access Cinema (Ireland), and Art kino mreža Slovenije (Slovenia).
The digital content platform will include features in cinema-powered video on demand (VOD), event cinema, gaming and virtual reality (VR) in cinemas, jukebox cinema and crowdsourcing, and virtual film literacy offers.
Being part of ‘Cinnovate’ will allow us to complement and strengthen our network’s traditional working model by using emerging innovations to reconnect with existing cinema audiences, whilst also reaching new audiences of all ages,” Access Cinema Network’s managing director Maeve Cooke said in a press release.
“We are also delighted to have the opportunity to work directly with other European cinema networks, which will allow us to share and learn from each other’s experiences, as well as with the expert partners who will help us to build new activities in event cinema, VR and gaming.”
