The International Union of Cinemas (UNIC), the body that represents the owners and managers of the European cinemas is calling on governments across the continent to do everything in their power to ensure that cinemas are able to overcome the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
“The overwhelming majority of cinemas in Europe have closed in response to measures to limit the spread of the current coronavirus outbreak. This will have a huge economic and social impact in their local communities, but our priority at this moment must be the health of our audiences and the millions of people in our sector dedicated to making the cinema-going experience unique” the statement read.
“We look forward to the day when our members can welcome audiences back so once again they can enjoy the unparalleled cultural and social experience of watching a film together on the Big Screen.”
