As distributors need to stay flexible and curious about the latest technological and digital tools that
can boost their acquisition and release strategies, ED is launching this very first Film Distribution
Innovation Hub, a dedicated space where innovative tools with a clear potential application for film
distribution will be presented by tech companies’ representatives.
On Tuesday July 5 2022, a public showcase accessible to all accredited participants will present five
different innovative digital tools, developed by Artinii, Cascade8 NFT Lab, Largo.ai, Usheru and
Zoan. All have in common to propose solutions aimed at film distributors and consisting in potential
supports for the release and promotion of European and international films.
This public showcase will be followed by a private session where the different tools presented will be
discussed by the tech companies and the distributors only. This will give the possibility for
distributors to understand how they could practically implement these tools in their daily work, and
for the tech companies to receive direct feedback from potential users. This session will then be
completed with the presentations of innovative projects put in place by independent film distributors
members of Europa Distribution.
After the workshop in Karlovy Vary, Europa Distribution will continue to discuss independent
publishing and distribution and the circulation of European independent films through its next events
in Haugesund, San Sebastian, Rome and Amsterdam. Articles on all our events are published on
Europa Distribution’s socials and blog: http://www.europa-distribution.org/blog/
