European Distributors Call for COVID-19 Support to Avoid "Long-Term Catastrophe"

European film distribution bodies have said that their representatives need urgent support during the ongoing novel coronavirus crisis if they are to avoid a "long-term catastrophe." In a statement issued by Europa Distribution and the International Federation of Film Distributors' Associations, the two organizations claimed that support was needed "not just for the film industry and employment as a whole, but for the European Union's commitment to cultural diversity." The statement added that the lockdown had "already tragically undermined" the reach of some potentially important films, with the titles that had been held back for release once the pandemic had subsided having to "take their chances" in an overcrowded and disrupted market.
