    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
