https://lnkd.in/gmkfMiYp Dear Filmmakers, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Today, I am writing to you not just as the CEO of UVT Cinemas Pvt Ltd, but as a fellow dreamer and believer in the transformative power of cinema. It's time to bring the change, to be the change that our industry has been yearning for. In the realm of storytelling, we often find ourselves weaving narratives of courage, resilience, and triumph over adversity. Today, I urge you to step into these shoes, to be the heroes of a real-world narrative that is waiting to unfold. Our Indian film industry, known for its vibrancy and diversity, is standing at a crossroads. It's time to rewrite the script, to reshape the very ecosystem that fuels our dreams. We've all witnessed the remarkable power of the common people in recent weeks. Their collective energy and unity have shown us that change is possible, that transformation is within our grasp. The performance of films in single cinemas, against all odds, has been nothing short of remarkable. These cinemas, these spaces that connect stories to hearts, have a vital role in our industry's narrative. And it's time we revive them. As reported by The Times Of India on Sunday, August 27, 2023, the need for revival is evident, and it's an urgency we cannot ignore. UVT - D2T, with its unwavering commitment to transformation, has delved deep into the challenges that led to the closure of these single cinemas. But we haven't stopped at identifying the problems; we've forged a path toward a solution. D2T isn't just a technology; it's a revolution waiting to unfold. It's the gateway to revival, to breathing life back into these closed cinemas and rekindling the magic of the big screen. What is D2T, you ask? It's a groundbreaking technology that eliminates the barriers of Virtual Print Fees (VPF) and Content Delivery Charges (CDC). It empowers you, the filmmakers, to be your own integrator. It's about autonomy, creative freedom, and financial empowerment. With D2T, you can directly deliver your films to theatres, connecting with audiences in ways that were once unthinkable. It's about embracing change, about standing up for the single cinemas that are the beating heart of our industry. D2T's process is seamless and secure, utilizing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure unmatched content security. It's a transformation that the industry has been waiting for, a transformation that you can be a part of. So, my fellow dreamers, the time is now. Let's be the change that rejuvenates our industry, that revitalizes the single cinemas and propels us into a new era of storytelling. Let's harness the power of technology to create a wave of revival, a wave that resonates from single cinemas to the hearts of common people across the nation. With profound hope and unshakeable determination, Kumaar Aadarsh CEO, UVT Cinemas Pvt Ltd

Sanity not Vanity: Good to see actions being taken to root out the #cinema deadwood. Harsh words, but the market needs to make tough and rational decisions that cannot now be ignored. From 2002 to 2019 a total of 1,400 screens (+44%) were added across the UK, which only added 0.1% to admissions totals or 110 annual admits per additional screen by 2019, highlighting a significant disconnect in the UK between consumer demand and total screen supply that pre-dates the pandemic, and will now impact the cinema sector #sustainability and #cinema recovery post-pandemic, that is further accentuated by the prolonged impact of the strikes.

Cinema Screen Demand and Supply: "There’s this perception that certain cinemas play certain movies and others don’t. That may have been true 30 or 40 years ago, but not anymore. Right now, there’s practically no difference between an independent, art house cinema and a multiplex #cinema operator. We are all playing the same movies. The multiplex operators are playing more independent films than Picturehouse. They’re also playing more independent films than Everyman cinemas. And part of the reason is that we have more screens..." Tim Richards CEO Vue #LeisurePropertyESS https://lnkd.in/ehkYEuMA

These AMC-distributed concert/documentary movies seem to be a win win for the exhibitors, cinema and of course AMC. Content is key as well as distribution. #AMC #renaissance #beyonce #concertfilm #entertainment #presale #content #distribution #marketawareness #documentary

Cinema Beginning with silent black-and-white films, cinema technology developed rapidly over the 20th century. The earliest motion picture cameras and projectors amazed audiences with moving images. Through the 1910s, silent films like Charlie Chaplin’s grew in popularity and mastered visual storytelling without sound. Technicolor brought vibrant hues, while 1927’s “The Jazz Singer” introduced synchronized sound, ushering in Hollywood’s Golden Age and elevating cinema into a booming industry. Epic movie theaters made the experience larger than life in the 1920s. Television arrived in the 1950s as an initial threat but evolved into new home viewing and revenue streams beyond theaters. Today's CGI-packed blockbusters and cinematic franchises earn billions globally. Streaming now disrupts viewing habits once again. From silent shorts to immersive worlds, cinema retains an unmatched power to reinvent itself through technological shifts over the past century of evolution #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

🎬📺 Evolution of Cinema, OTT Films, Cinema Hall 🎥🍿 🌟 🎬 While the accessibility and diversity of OTT films have undoubtedly enriched our cinematic experiences, it's essential to acknowledge the profound impact this shift has had on the traditional cinema-going experience. Gone are the days of eagerly anticipating the latest release at the local cinema hall, surrounded by fellow movie buffs and immersed in the magic of the big screen. 🌟🎬 As OTT platforms continue to gain momentum, drawing audiences away from cinema halls, the dynamics of the film industry are undergoing a significant transformation. The allure of instant gratification, coupled with the ability to tailor viewing experiences to individual preferences, has inevitably led to a decline in foot traffic at traditional theatres. 🌟🎬 However, amidst the changing landscape, it's crucial to recognize the enduring charm and irreplaceable allure of the cinema hall experience. The communal aspect of watching a film on the big screen, the immersive sound and visuals, and the sense of anticipation and excitement that fills the air – these are elements that simply cannot be replicated in the confines of our living rooms. Lights, camera, action no matter where we watch, let's keep the magic of cinema alive! 🌟🎥 #Cinema #OTT #FilmIndustry #MovieMagic #Streaming #FilmConsumption #CinemaExperience #Storytelling #EntertainmentIndustry #FilmLovers
