Arts Alliance Media and UK post house Molinare have agreed to offer AAM’s digital cinema services to Molinare’s post-production clients and post capablities to AAM’s customers. The move is designed to offer producers and exhibitors a seamless end-to-end service from preproduction through to theatrical release. AAM will work with Molinare to provide services such as digital cinema package creation and re-versioning for different territories along with a full quality-control service in either of its two fully equipped digital cinemas in London and Paris. The agreement will also provide AAM clients with post-production services from Molinare. These include distribution to cinemas globally – including the option of satellite transmission direct to cinema servers or the alternative of distribution on hard drive or USB. AAM will also provide a full security key management service to ensure that content can only be unlocked by a specified cinema screen at the specified time.
