EXHIBITION BRIEFS<br />
Cine Colombia Selects Cielo Platform<br />
n Cine Colombia, the largest circuit in Colombia and<br />
fourth largest circuit in Latin America, has selected<br />
Cinema Equipment and Supplies’ Cielo platform for<br />
remote monitoring and equipment support across their<br />
280-screen, 42-site circuit. Cine Colombia also purchased<br />
Unique Digital’s RosettaBridge theater management<br />
system for deployment across their entire circuit.<br />
“We chose CE+S because they are able to provide<br />
a comprehensive solution as full-service integrators,”<br />
says Munir Fallah, CEO of Cine Colombia. “There are<br />
other monitoring and support options in the market<br />
and we chose to stay with CE+S. They are a trusted<br />
partner, and Cielo is a prime example of how CE+S<br />
continues to innovate in this industry.”<br />
“We introduced Cielo to the industry determined<br />
to address the frustrations of exhibitors,” says Guillermo<br />
Younger Jr., president, CE+S. “Monitoring was<br />
this mysterious black box to them. Cielo is giving Cine<br />
Colombia the visibility they need so they can operate<br />
their theaters more efficiently. We’re honored to continue<br />
supporting Cine Colombia’s business.”<br />
Poland’s Helios Embraces 4K Cinema<br />
n Poland’s largest cinema operator, Helios, has become the latest cinema chain<br />
to embrace a fully immersive large-format experience, opening a new multiplex<br />
in Lodz with 4K visuals along with Christie’s Vive Audio with Dolby Atmos.<br />
“It’s fitting that the new Helios complex is in a city famous as being the Polish<br />
center of cinematography, because the audiences here will get a world-class<br />
experience,” says Adil Zerouali (left), Christie director of cinema for Europe.<br />
The new flagship multiplex in Sukcesja Retail Park has 9 screens with 2,000<br />
seats and lobby air-touch screens where visitors can watch the latest trailers or<br />
have a coffee in a cozy seating area. Helios is also extending Vive Audio to its<br />
Wroclaw and other cinemas.<br />
The grand opening of the new Helios complex in Lodz in September was<br />
timed for the launch of King of Life, which is the first Polish film made for Dolby<br />
Atmos sound. The director and actors from the film attended the first screening<br />
along with some VIP guests and members of the public.<br />
Helios has 35 cinemas across Poland; the company was awarded the Created<br />
in Poland Superbrands title in 2013/2014 in the Free Time category.<br />
