SHOW ‘E’ AWARD<br />
NEIL CAMPBELL<br />
VICE CHAIRMAN<br />
LANDMARK CINEMAS CANADA<br />
Neil Campbell, vice chairman for Landmark Cinemas<br />
Canada, will receive this year’s Dan Fellman Show ‘E’<br />
Award at ShowEast. Campbell will be presented with<br />
this special honor as part of the Final Night Awards<br />
Ceremony hosted by the Coca-Cola Company on<br />
Thursday, <strong>October</strong> 25, at the Loews Miami Beach.<br />
The Dan Fellman Show ‘E’ Award was renamed in 2015 to<br />
honor long-time Warner Bros. Distribution Chief Dan Fellman<br />
and to celebrate his impressive 38-year career within the industry.<br />
Each year, the award is presented to an industry member or<br />
company whose achievements, accomplishments, and dedication<br />
to the industry are unequalled.<br />
“We are extremely honored to present Neil Campbell with<br />
this award at ShowEast this year,” said Andrew Sunshine, president<br />
of the Film Expo Group. “Campbell’s continued dedication<br />
and commitment to advance the movie industry is second to<br />
none. For 44 years, Neil has been a leader in the industry and we<br />
congratulate him on this award.”<br />
Neil Campbell began his career in the entertainment industry<br />
in 1974 with Landmark Cinemas, and in 1986 he joined the<br />
distribution team at Cineplex Odeon Films in Calgary. Campbell<br />
was promoted to general manager Western Canada and, in<br />
1998, moved to Sony Releasing in Toronto as managing director.<br />
In 2001, Campbell moved back to Calgary and exhibition<br />
to take on the position of COO with Landmark Cinemas. In<br />
2007, Campbell and his business partner Brian McIntosh bought<br />
Landmark Cinemas of Canada Inc. and managed Landmark’s<br />
biggest growth in 2012, building three new theaters plus fully<br />
digitizing the circuit. In 2013, they also bought Empire Theatres<br />
and tripled in size.<br />
In December 2017, Campbell & McIntosh sold Landmark<br />
Canada to Kinepolis Theatres from Belgium, and the new company<br />
has doubled in size and is a respected exhibitor globally. The company<br />
now operates 94 theaters, with 822 screens in eight countries.<br />
Campbell currently serves as chairman of the Motion Picture<br />
Theatre Association of Canada and is an active member of<br />
NATO as Executive Board member, serving on the Advisory<br />
Board and Membership Committee. n<br />
