The Presidents word
I am very honoured to be part of Europa Distribution. As a filmmaker, since my first film I am very aware of the key role of distributors in the life of a film.
“You” distributors are in charge of the delicate, uncertain and crucial task: to take the filmmakers’ babies by hand and bring them into the world.
It is never an easy task but at this moment in time, it is even more difficult. I know that very well, that is why I thank “you” from the bottom of my heart for being the force to ensure film as we know it and having a future.
Sincerely, Isabel Coixet President of Honour
