European exhibition network Europa Cinemas has selected 17 projects to support the third edition of Collaborate To Innovate, its scheme to reward innovative and collaborative projects developed by exhibitors in the region.
Europa Cinemas grants a maximum of €100,000 per project. The 17 new projects, representing 99 cinemas, will share a total support amount of almost €1.4 million.

Coming from 16 European countries, the 17 projects cover a wide range of topics: film literacy and young audience development, technological innovation and hybrid experiences, data optimisation and digital marketing (CRM), enhanced cinema-going experience, intergenerational initiatives, as well as green practices and inclusion of marginalised audiences.
“One of the core objectives of this programme is to support projects which have the potential to inspire other exhibitors in the Network and beyond,” said Fatima Djoumer, Europa Cinemas newly appointed CEO.
Lucia Recalde, head of unit Creative Europe MEDIA said: “With 45 projects supported since its inception, Collaborate To Innovate has become a Research and Development resource not only for the Network and European film theatres, but for the film industry as a whole.”
She pointed to successful Collaborate To Innovate projects like Cineville, an arthouse cinema subscription model from the Netherlands that has been adopted in Belgium, Austria and now Germany. “It demonstrates how the replication of a great idea and its adaptation to a different local context can drive innovation forward for the entire film ecosystem.”
